Ellen Sullivan..Cappamore 1860

Hi everyone,

My Irish ancestors left Ireland in the early 1860's for Wales. They were a Patrick Sullivan and an Ellen Barry. Their eldest daughter was a Bridget Sullivan, born in Ireland.

Although, Patrick Sullivan and Ellen Barry are common names, the only documented record that makes sense was a Bridget Sullivan born in Cappamore, Limerick on September 22nd, 1861. I have hit a brick wall in finding which parish her parents originated from. I found the documented record in Irish Roots and they gave the God Parents as John O'Brien and Kate Power. When I look at the image of the microfim, I fail to see a John O'Brien and Kate Power. The birth of Bridget is record on the bottom of one page and I assume the God Parents are on the next line, which occurs on the top of the following page.

I was hoping that someone with more familarity with the Irish records and surnmaes could help decipher the entries.

Please see the attached images.

I would be grateful for any resonse.

Sean:

I think the male sponsor is James Bourke and the female sponsor surname is cutoff. Could be Mary Ryan. Hopefully other volunteers will give their views.
