Searching for daughter of Delia H. (Shea or Moriaty or Moriarty) Sullivan and James Stephen Sullivan

Searching for daughter of Delia H. (Moriaty or Moriarty) (daughter of Maurice & Helen Shea) (born Ireland) (housekeeper) and James Stephen O'Sullivan (physician) (born Worcester MA, and later dropped the O').They married 8/9/1894 Worcester MA USA, and a daugher was born shortly after. Delia died and the child was sent to Ireland. Letters exist from Ireland to Dr. Sullivan upon his remarriage asking him to bring his daughter back to America. I have not seen the letters. Thank you, Patricia A. Sullivan

To assist volunteers. Do you know the name of the child and when they were sent to Ireland?

I'm so thrilled that my request got responses. I did not know her date of death, but seeing it was so soon after their marriage, it was may have been in childbirth. So sad. We believe their daughter's name was Anne. Again, she was sen to Ireland but never came back to America. This James Sullivan is my great grandfather. He died young, age 41, and the family fell on hard times financially and emotionally after that. Thank you all for your help.

I do not know where Delia H. Moriarty was born. However Cork is a distinct possibility for the child to be sent to because these O'Sullivans (Cornelius & Catherine [Murphy]) are from Castletownbere, or Castletown Berehaven.

Maybe the child was sent to Delia's family?

Eileen, thank you for all this information. I have that marriage entry which started me on this quest to try to find their missing daughter. I also have Sullivan's on my father's mother's side of the family from Lisheenacannina Molahiffe Kerry; married Hickey from Limerick. I'm having a great time with this. Patty Sullivan
