Can NOT find any divorce record for William and Mary Perrin and am wondering if he had two wives on two continents?

Hello  tj and Easter Greetings to you, 

 

Here is the newspaper article on Ring Lyne    Ring Lyne.jpg  and the photograph  Photo .jpg

 

One your other query -  would Mary have died - deaths on wwwirishgenealogy.ie go up to 1971 but the surname O'Sullivan is very popular name - maybe worth checking it out.

 

Good luck with your research

Thanks so much for the article Clonpriest!  this John isn't the direct relation but I think that Bar was in the Family for many years.

 

My son in laws family is from the 2nd wife Margaret Mary Keenan and Wm O'Sullivan.

 

Would William Joseph Sullivan's parents  Jeremiah O'Sullivan (died 1922) and his Wife Alice (O'Connell) (Died 1913) still have a grave? They died in 23 Mar 1922 Chapeltown, Valentia, (east lower tinnies). thanks so much!  I hope to bring my daughter and her fiance Matt Sullivan over to Ireland in 2024 and of course visit the area his family is from!
