I hope someone can help me. I am trying to track down
where in Ireland my family is from. My grandfather
was William James Sullivan was born in 1904 in
Cowdenbeath Scotland.
His parents were Catherine Cannavan and Cornelius
Sullivan (they were married in NOV 1892 in St.
Patrick's Church, Auchterderran Parish, Fife County,
Scotland)
From their marriage record, I found that Cornelius's
parents were a Cornelius Sullivan and Bridget
Broderick and that his place of birth was Kerry, Ire
(186
. Using the LDS database, I found a Cornelius Sullivan, born 1866 in Castleisland, Kerry, Ire, whose parents were Cronelius Sullivan and Bridgit Broder. . .could this be my ggrandfather?
When he was 18, he left home for South Africa (circa 1886)
to learn the mining trade. Sometime later (but
before 1892) he moved to Scotland were he go a job as
an mining engineer. He died April 1, 1907 as the
result of injuries from a mining accident.
My Grandfather always claimed that he was a direct
decendant of Donal O'Sullivan Beare. . .is this
possible? I feel I am stuck because I don't know were
in Ireland the family came from. . .
Any suggestions on where to look?
Many thanks for your time.
