I am looking to research the 'extended family' of the Jeremiah, Ellen and Mary O’Sullivan, originally from Galway City, for example siblings (Jeremiah & Ellen ) nephews, nieces etc.
My Great Grandmother Mary Teresa D’Arcy Nee O’Sullivan was born to Jeremiah & Ellen O’ Sullivan Nee Connolly on The 12th February 1868. She married and settled in Fairhill Road Claddagh. Mary Passed away in Caltra in 1924.
Jeremiah was born circa 1820. Jeremiah’s occupation was recorded as a Sailor on some documents and as a publican/grocer on others. Jerimiah died at sea on 11th February 1892.
Ellen was born in 1826 and she passed away (Tragic Canal Drowning) on August 01st 1893 in Newcastle Co. Limerick at the age of 67. Jeremiah’s date marriage to Ellen Connolly are unknown.
Addresses associated with Jeremiah & Ellen O’Sullivan are as follows;

Mary Teresa Darcy was the oldest of the O’Sullivan children and she had 7 siblings; Daniel O'Sullivan, Jeremiah O'Sullivan, Michael O'Sullivan, Ellen O’Sullivan I, Mary (Elisabeth) O’Sullivan II, Ellen O’Sullivan II and Margaret O'Sullivan. Mary was born in February 1868 and her siblings were born between August 1870 and January 1883. It is worth noting that none of her siblings survived past their teens. Tragically three of the children died as infants, one at three years, one at five years and the second eldest Daniel at seventeen.
Mary O’Sullivan married James Darcy (an RIC Officer) at the Church of Saint Nicholas on 02nd September 1885. The ceremony was witnessed by David O’Sullivan and Margaret O’Connor. They went on to produce 8 children, six of whom immigrated to the United States.

Thomas Kean & Mary Connelly (Jeremiah & Michael)
