Europe / Re: Need help in tracing Italian family

I have a friend who is also doing the same and is in a similar situation!  She was helped greatly by an organization called My Italian Family.  I think that's what it is called! Thought I would throw my 2 cents in!   I have been helped so much by the people here on rootschat that I am sure you will make a breakthrough!  :)

Hey Graham,
I am having a hard time finding that marriage record that you referenced. Thomas Hickey and Catherine Sullivan .  I tried family search.org and rootsireland.ie.   Where did you find it?
Thanks!

Excellent Graham-thank you!  I know that her husband-aka Hickey was a reputable doctor from Thurles.  But that is all I know! 

I will try and do some cross matching with the brother-sister relationship and vis a vis the spouses.  John Sullivan's (the son) wife's name was Bridget Walsh.  It is starting to sound like the "6 degrees of the Sullivans!!"   :)

Thank you!

Thanks all for the links! The parish map was very interesting!  I know John Sullivan had a sister named Catherine so I went on the www.rootsireland.ie website and did a search for him with an 1861 birth- found 1 in Tipperary. And then did one for her with about a leeway of 5 years around 1865 or so.  I found one also in Tipperary. (1867)  The parents matched and the address matched.  So I assume that it is him. I guess it could be someone else.  I know Catherine got married to a man with a last name Hickey but I do not know the marriage year.

If I am missing something just let me know!  :)

Hi Ann Clare,
Yes, that it is him.  Margaret Sullivan is my grandmother.  I have tried to search the parish records but I do not think I had the right link as I was coming up nothing.

I do not have a copy of the marriage certificate yet -am waiting on it.  I do know he got married in Drom, Templemore on 2 Feb 1888.  His wife name is Bridget Walsh.
Thanks!  :)

Hi Graham and Annclare,
I did not know that Irish death records did not list parent's names. That is different than the US.  I guess I would have to get the birth record.  The only thing I know is that he was born in Thurles.   I believe he was from the Inch area-not sure though.

I do not know what parish-I could ask my cousin.  I have checked Griffith's valuation and  I saw him in there -but it does not list anything else but the name.  Wow, I can't believe it is so hard to get his mother's name-this is crazy!  :)

Tipperary / Sullivans of Thurles
« on: Sunday 30 June 13 20:24 BST (UK)  »
Was wondering if someone could help me find the parents (I think I have the father but not the mother!) of my great grandfather John Sullivan.  He was born in Thurles about 1864.  I know for sure he died 23 June 1942 in Thurles (the gravestone said he was 81) which makes his birth date 1861 but in the 1901 and 1911 census when he lists his age-the birth year comes out to be 1864.  I have tried to search the parish registers with little success.   He married Bridget Walsh (born: 24 Sept 1865) on 6 Feb 1888 in Drom Church, Templemore.

I think from what I remember he lists on the marriage certificate that his father's name is John O'Sullivan.  I am trying to find out the exact birthdate of my great grandfather and who exactly are his parents.  I have done a search as well on family search.org and there are very few matches.    They lived all their lives in Thurles, which is where the Sullivan (at least those early generations are from).
I know he was a farmer as well.  I was going to order the death certificate in the hopes that the parent were listed. :)
Thank you so much!

Thanks Kaysii!  Still working on Otto Larsen (born 1907) and his children-don't know their names-will check family search.  His wife's name was Olive -don't know her maiden name.
