Hi everyone.
My maternal great grandfather JAMES SULLIVAN (Born 1879) married a woman named ELLEN (Born 1881). James was definitely born in Monaghan but I can't be sure about Ellen yet and I don't know what her maiden name was but I think they married around 1905 and went on to have three children, MARY (Born 1906), JOHN (Born 1908) and ALICE (Born 1912). In 1911 (according to the census) James, Ellen and two of the children were living in Number 3 GAS HOUSE ENTRY in MONAGHAN URBAN. They had a boarder named JAMES MCCOURT (Born 1881).
One of the siblings (John) was my grandfather, when he grew up he moved to Belfast and married a lady named Bridget McAree (My grandmother), I believe that her father was also originally from Monaghan. They went on to have children and lived in West Belfast. My mummy Bridget Sullivan (Married name - Connor) was their daughter.
I think my great grandfather's middle name was Joseph, so his full name was James Joseph Sullivan and the middle name of his third child Alice, was Ann, so Alice Ann Sullivan.
This is a long shot I know, but does any of what I've written mean anything to anyone or does anyone have any advice or useful resources or places/sites I could search for information? It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
