Hello, I am searching for information on Catherine Nora Sullivan (my great grandmother) who was born 20th March 1840 in Kerry, and migrated to Australia in 1858. I would like to find birth/baptism records for Catherine Nora Sullivan as well as information on her parents eg names, marriage record etc.
Thank you in anticipation for your help.
Regards,
Bernadette Mithen
Bernadette:
Suggest you check out www.irishgenealogy.ie There are 37 Catherine Sullivan baptisms listed for 1840 in Co. Kerry. Based on her date of birth a number of these records can be eliminated. I know you don't know the parents names but you should be able to narrow the possible records.

Dear Bernadette,
do you know the port she travelled from? Or can you find her in a Census living with others who may be related in some way to her family? These details may give us some more leads.
Sincerely hope we can help.

Next step would be to contact and ask for ALL details on the record incl. addresses and any additional information about marriages which is sometimes written opposite baptismal details.
