Event Note

The only sources I have for the birth locations of the four older known children of Patrick McMullen and Catherine Singleton are the children's later census records. I suspect that all four, Bridget, John, Dennis, and Essy, were born in Ireland, but I am not positive. There are no records of their births in Montreal.
