1855 Death of Agnes Mullen, wife of Bernard Ward




I found another generation's information by finding Colin's great great grandmother Agnes (Mullen) Ward's death certificate....

Death certificate of Agnes Mullen, wife of Bernard Ward shows that she was 60 years old when she died on 11th October 1855 at Castle Street, Hamilton.
Burial place is listed as Parish Church yard, Hamilton.
Lists that Agnes had lived in the District of Hamilton for 35 years. This ties in with the Marriage Proclamation of November 1826.....
Agnes was born in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland circa 1795.
Father was James Mullen, Farmer (deceased in 1855)
Mother was Margaret Mullen, maiden name McLaren.
Death registered by Edward Small, Nephew.

Edward Ward (Colin's great grandfather) was 18 years old when his mother passed away.
