O'Sullivan McAuliffe family to Victoria, Australia in 1844

In 1844 an O'Sullivan family with 8 children, boarded the Adderton at Cobh, and arrived in the Port of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. 'Adderton' passenger list records the children's ages from 1.5 years to 23 years.

Cornelius died in 1878, aged 101 years. His 1878 Death Certificate states born on Co' Cork, 33 years in Victoria, married in Co' Cork at 40 to Julia McAuliffe. Cornelius' parents were Denis and Bridget (her surname unknown).

Julia passed away in 1854: her internment papers recorded her age as 52 years.

Other information, such as newspaper items, obituaries and accounts of those children born in County Cork, refer to Kanturk as place of birth. Other items refer to Mallow, perhaps meaning the wider Mallow area.

As with many O'Sullivan families, the " O' " depends on the occasion and the weather! 

I have combed the NLI films, by indexed searches. Grateful for any direction and advice, re finding location and/or Catholic church records.

Many thanks
