Im trying to understand a bit more on my ancestors Patrick sullivan b: 1872 Ireland , died 1907 Warwickshire ( he was a soldier) cannot locate where he is burried nor which part of Ireland he hailed from nor his parents details other than his father was Michael sullivan.

 Patrick married Anna Kelleher  in cork in 1903 she was  b:1883 cork, died: 1932 Bradford , yorkshire. I’m trying to work out detail of her parents ( father was Patrick Kelleher)

Any help greatly appreciated .

You've posted on the HOW TO USE ROOTSCHAT (Please Don't Post Requests Here) board- just click on 'report to Moderator and ask for the thread to be moved to Ireland- General (since you aren't sure where the Sullivans came from).

Sullivan-Kelleher marriage in 1903- in County Cork-

Lots of details there to get started. The witness Ellen Kelleher might be Anna's sister. The groom's father is listed as Michal, a labourer.

The first two Sullivan children were born in Stratford on Avon - Margaret in 1904, and Kathleen Elizabeth in 1905. Annie was born in Warwick in 1906. That is possibly where Patrick Sullivan died - what does the death certificate say?

What information does the marriage record to her second husband (Edward Montgomery) provide about Anna Kelleher’s age and father?

In the 1911 census Anna (nee Kelleher) is recorded as born in Cork about 1881. Given that she was full age (21 or over) when she married Sullivan in 1903, it is more probable that she was born earlier than 1883.

Having said that, there are not many births in Cork that would fit. Here is the only possible one that I could see.

Mother Ellen Riordan; father Michael Kelleher married in 1878

The first born seems to have been Timothy in July 1879.

The 1921 index shows Annie Montgomery born 1885, Cork, Cork, Ireland.
Edward is shown as born 1885 also, so that is not in keeping with 1911 either.
This is only a transcription though.

I think she told a little lie about her age on the marriage record.

I think she told a little lie about her age on the marriage record.

Not really - ‘full’ covers all options. 

Added - sorry, do you mean she was really under age. I misunderstood you, I think.
