Looking for ancestors

KerryKilcaskan (Kerry)

My grandfather's records that were sent from Ireland in 1939 state:

Michael Sullivan’s birth/christening

Parish of Kilcaskan (Killaskan, Kileaskan) South

Church of St. Fiachna

Diocese of Kerry – Ireland

Baptized on October 8 1874

His parents were Julia and Peter Sullivan

Peter emmigrated to the US Lowell MA in 1881

Julia with the children Mary, Michael and Kate in 1883

I am looking for records of his grandparents who were Catherine and Timothy Sullivan

Catherine in 1884 as a widow with 3 of 8 children living.

I would like to find records of her other children and any and all other information.

Hi Kathleen

www.rootsireland.ie/ (subscription site) has a marriage record of Peter Sullivan 14 Feb 1852

Parish KILNAMARTYRA bride Julia RIORDAN; no parents' names are given.

There are quite a few marriage records of Timothy Sullivan to Catherine so without knowing the year or her surname it is a lottery.

You may want to explore the following free sites if you haven't already:

www.irishgenealogy.ie/ - has lots of Cork records

Tithe Applotments - will show where they Sullivans were in Cork 1823-37

Griffiths Valuation 1848 - 64

Irish Censuses 1821-1911
