Ireland / James Campbell - Margaret Parker (or Parkes)
« on: Friday 21 September 07 09:06 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for some clues as to the origins of James Campbell and his wife Margaret (nee Parker - or possibly Parkes).  They must have been married about 1861 and moved from Ireland to Liverpool sometime between 1871 and 1875.  I have them in the 1881 - 1901 Censuses but their birthplaces are just given as 'Ireland'.  Margaret's mother was Annie Parker (b abt 1811)

They appear to have had 5 children before moving to Liverpool - Ann Jane (b. 1862), Margaret (1865),  Mary (1866), (Isa)Bella (1869), and my GGrandmother Teresa (1861).   They had more children later.

Grateful for any pointers.

Kerry / O'Sullivan / Sugrue / Brennan (Castlecove)
« on: Saturday 25 August 07 18:38 BST (UK)  »
I am seeking information on my Grandfather, JAMES PATRICK O'SULLIVAN (Jim) who was born in Kerry about 1895.  He married a MARY PATRICIA SUGRUE at some stage and I must assume that the marriage took place in Ireland.  Mary died quite young though they had 3 children to best of my knowledge - Kathleen, Johnny and Mary.  Jim later married Annie Wicks (my grandmother) in London in 1926 which is where the family settled.

Jim's father, who I am also trying to track down, was JOHN O'SULLIVAN who married MARY ANNE BRENNAN who apparently hailed from Newry.  I understand that the family lived in the Castlecove area, which is in the RC Parish of Caherdaniel, though they later also moved to London. 

I visited the area a couple of years ago but hadn't done my homework (common error).  I found a number gravestones that might point to my family's earlier history but I have so far failed to establish that first link so if anyone out there can help I would be very grateful.
