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!
