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!

Europe / Norwegian Census
« on: Sunday 16 June 13 17:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi All!
I am trying to find out information about my grandmother and grandfather who were born in Norway.  My father was born in Bergen in 1922.  I have checked the Norwegian census for my grandfather (Isak Melo or Meloe- born 1883) depending on how they spelled it and I have found him and my great grandmother, Maren Melo but not my great grandfather.  Apparently, he must have died earlier on.  It seems that the census just goes up to 1910.  Is there any way to access the census for later dates like 1920?

My grandmother, Hilda Larsen-born -3-31-1886-I found-but her name is spelled Hildo Larsen-I am almost positive her mother's name was Amanda.  And I know for a fact that they lived in Selbu which is where I found her in the 1900 census.  But she is not in the 1910 census at all!

My Aunt Ingeborg Melo (Meloe) was born in 1911 so I figured she married by then but she is not even listed as Hilda Melo either.  My grandfather (listed as unmarried) is in the 1910 census so it is a bit of a mystery to me.   I figure if I can get a hold of a later census perhaps I can figure it out.  I can't find the birth certificates.  I am on ancestry.com but the Norwegian info is scarce there.

The family did not emigrate to America until 1927-28.

Thanks for the help!  :)
