O'SULLIVAN Bouge
« on: Thursday 02 November 17 16:53 GMT (UK) »
Many SULLIVAN families had suffixes to distinguish themselves from one part of the clan or another. Does anyone know about "SULLIVAN Bouge"? In the Clonakilty area, one family is known to have lived at Knockskeagh (just north of the town) and in church records can be found both as O'SULLIVAN or BOUGE/BOUGUE. It may have fallen into disuse. Period of records: Late C18th-1840's.
The suggestion is anglicized from the Gaelic being a descendant from someone named Bouddica, which of course, is a well known Celtic tribal name unrelated to Cork, and female.
