Sullivans in Brockagh, Kilmeena Parish, Kilmaclasser

Hi Kevin,

I went to www.irishgenealogy.ie and looked at the church records for kerry.  I found Michael's baptism in 1835  and also found Mary  sullivan b. 1831  father john sullivan  mother bridget quinlan.

That's the only record with the three people listed.

Hope this helps,

anne

Anne,

Thanks for coming back to me.

I had found Michael for 1835 but my GG Grandmother Mary could not have been born in 1831, the year I have is 1841, which is echoed on all the English censi from 1851 until her death in 1920.

The place of birth on the censi is always given as Mayo, but as her husband was born there it may just be that the enumerators copied Patricks entry.

 

The Sullivan family I have is:

Father: John Leo Sullivan B 1816

Mother: Bridget Quinlan B 1821

Children Elizabeth  B 1831

Thomas B 1831

Michael B 1835

John B 1840

Mary (my GG Grandmother) B 1841

Anna B 1846

The rest were born in England

Ann B 1851

William B 1853

I also am looking at Bridget's birth as the 1851 England census gives her age as 30 but Elizabeth is given as 20, clearly a problem there, perhaps John Leo married again? There was no mention of Thomas in that census, but at 20 he may have left home.

I will keep looking!

If you find anymore detail on my maternal forebears please do not hesitate to let me know.

Once again thanks for your help.

 

Kind Regards

 

Kevin
