I am writing regarding the O'Sullivan family. I am seeking information on my grandfather, Thomas Joseph O'Sullivan. We have a marriage certificate showing Thomas married Annie Bastable in Sydney in 1898, and that he was born in Cork, Ireland. Thomas was 35 at the time of his marriage, which means he could have been bon in 1863?His parents were Jeremiah O'Sullivan and Ellen Bastable. Thomas's occupation in Sydney at the time of his marriage was a miner. Jeremiah's occupation was a waterman. Thomas died in 1935. His death certificate shows he was born in County Cork, Ireland and had spent 45 years in Australia.
We also have a death certificate for William O'Sullivan (alias Bastable) who died in Cobar, New South Wales on 13th September, 1894 as a result of a mining accident.William was 39 at the time of his death which means he could have been born around 1855. William's parents are also listed as Jeremiah O'Sullivan and Ellen Bastable. Jeremiah's occupation was listed as a boatbuilder.We are assuming that William and Thomas were brothers.The death certificate statesthat William was born in Cork, Ireland.
I would be grateful for any assistance you could give me in tracing any relatives of Thomas, William, Jeremiah and Ellen.
Thank you for your time and assistance
