Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Electrol roll for Guildford Surrey 1935
« on: Monday 27 April 20 12:51 BST (UK)  »
Thank you very much for your very prompt reply. The mystery deepens. Alice Mary emigrated to Ontario Canada early 1920's and married a Canadian with the surname of Sommerville . Before emigrating she lived in Shalford Surrey with her brother but he and his wife died in the early 1920's.
Ridout is not a name known in our Ancestry. Could the accommodation have been a public house or guest house.

Welcome to this post. We have both spent many years trying to break down this brick wall and at long last the family are beginning to come together. Annie May and Bridget Mary are not  the long lost members any more

Hi Matt
This post from you has come at a complete surprise to my wife ( I do the research on her behalf ).
The only firm evidence that I have is that Annie May O'sullivan married George Wilson in Eastleigh Hampshire on the 11 November 1913. She was a spinster and domestic cook living at the same address as George in Eastleigh. On the marriage certificate it states that her father was Peter a road steward . Her age was 20 yrs . She had two sons Harry and Ronnie Wilson born in Eastleigh.
Harry my father in law was born 15 Feb 1915 but is now deceased. Annie and George moved to Holt Pound Wrecclesham  Farnham Surrey  before or in the early part of the 2nd world war.
Annie died in Guildford hospital 9th July 1941 aged 47 from cancer and is buried in Eastleigh .
Would the name or place  COOLBAWN  mean anything to you ??? . My father in law never spoke about his family except to say as a young boy he used to visit family in Castleconnel

This is the latest information that I have on Annie May. With the information supplied by gaffy I obtained the civil birth certificate for Ann Mary O'sullivan which gave me the following information.
Born 4th July 1894 place of birth Mount Shannon, father Peter O'sullivan occupation steward , mother Mary Griffin. Now another problem arises , would Mount Shannon be the big house or that area of Limerick. In the 1901 census there were only 3 houses in Mount Shannon and only 1 was occupied.
Peter's occupation also causes a problem . Steward in 1894 ,shopkeeper in 1901, road labourer in 1911 and road steward on Annie May's marriage certificate. Would steward refer to a position in  the big house.
With all this information I am convinced that Ann Mary O'sullivan is my Annie May.
Through Roots Chat and another forum I have made contact with the granddaughter of Bridget the younger sister on the 1901 census. Bridget fled to England between 1920 and 1923 and never returned to Ireland or spoke about the family. She only said that the Mount Shannon house featured in her life. The granddaughter is as much in the dark about the family as I am. We do know that the big house was burnt down by the IRA in 1920 to stop it being occupied as a barracks by the British Army.
Any help about how to further our research would be really appreciated

Thank you very much gaffy for your excellent help. Although the Christian names do not match all the other clues certainly give me the feeling that you have highlighted the correct person. Annie May was the grandmother of my wife but whilst searching for my own ancestors I have found on more than one occasion that Christian names given at birth were changed, especially by the ladies.

Limerick / Annie May O'sullivan brick wall
« on: Friday 18 April 14 16:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi  Annie May was born in Co Limerick c 1893 / 1894 but I have drawn a blank in finding her birth.
These are the facts that I have. She married George Henry Wilson during October 1913 in Eastleigh Hampshire in a Roman Catholic church. They lived at the same address. She was 20 years old and her occupation was domestic cook. Her father was Peter O'sullivan a road steward. She died in July 1941 aged 47.
Her eldest son, now deceased, spoke about the times in the 1920's and 1930's when he travelled to Castle Connell  Co Limerick to visit her family and how he used to go fishing in the river Shannon. He never went into any other details about his mother or Ireland.
The house that Annie May was living in when she died was called COOLBAWN which I believe is an area near Castle Connell
I have recently found a family named O'sullivan living in Richhill in the Irish 1901 census who could be her family but the girls name is May aged 7, father Peter a shopkeeper. On the 1911 census the family is living in Ballynacourty, without May, but Peter is now a road labourer  (road steward !!!). I cannot find Annie May on any UK or Irish 1911 census
Peter nor Annie May O'sullivan is a common name in Co Limerick and continuous searching draws a blank
Can anybody offer any help please

Hi to everybody that has helped.
I am very pleased to confirm that I have made contact with the family of Arthur Edward Pellett (Pellatt).  What ever happened to Frederick George Pellett remains a mystery.
