Hi Denise

I have just found this message so apologies for lateness of response.

I have a John Sullivan born about 1834 in Cork who was my GGGf married Cather(i)ne b 1840 Bermondsey.
They were living in Bermondsey in 1859. You say the family moved to London around 1840 so he would have been about 7 years old then - do you thing this is him? If so I can give you details from then to present day as I have not been able to get any further back.

Kind regards

Dave B
