Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Can you share the1901 and 1911 census records?

Do you know Ellen's mother's maiden name? There are too many Ellen Sullivans with father John.

Mallow was strictly in Co. Cork.

Thanks!

I just checked www.irishgenealogy.ie and there were a total of 69 Ellen Sullivans born in either Cork or Kerry.  Likely at least 10 of the 69 would have a father named John.
