My great, great grandmother, Catherine Cullen, was from Ballinguile, Wickliow. She was born around 1828 and Roman Catholic. I am trying to find out who her parents were and if there is a marriage record for her and husband, Mathew O'Brien. Catherine immigrated to the U.S. around 1850.
Any information is appreciated.
Thank you,
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
I too am researching Cullen. My 4th great grandmother was a woman by the name of Elizabeth Cullen, who married Thomas Wilkinson. I don't know where my Cullens were from, but Wicklow is one of the possibilities. I do know of someone researching Wilkinsons from Wicklow! My Elizabeth is old enough to be your ancestors great aunt...family connection perhpas?
Hi Ross,
My O'Brien side is still a mystery. I am not sure if my great, great grandfather Mathew O'Brien, born about 1830, is from Wicklow or another county in Ireland. According to a U.S. census, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1850. I cannot find any parents or siblings for him.

Perhaps. A lot of Cullens were from Wicklow. I believe my Catherine Cullen is related to a Mathew Cullen, born about 1816, from Ballinguile, Wicklow. He is either a brother or uncle. His brothers were Edward and James. Both Mathew and Catherine Cullen lived in Connecticut for a short time before moving to Ohio with their respective families.

Hi, I posted in 2013 and again now in 2020 as I am still looking for any family (parents, siblings, aunts, or uncles) of my paternal great, great grandmother, Catherine Cullen, who was born about 1828. From her grave headstone in the U.S., it states she was from Ballinguile, Wicklow. Catherine immigrated to the U.S. around 1850 where she lived in Connecticut and then in Noble County, Ohio, where she lived the rest of her life with her husband (Matthew J O'Brien) and children (Eleanor, James, John, Daniel, Margaret, & Mary) all of whom were born in the U.S. She was Roman Catholic. She died in 1877 from asthma.
Any information is apprexiated as no additional information can be found on my Catherine Cullen in the U.S.
