I finally found the villiage name of where one of my ancesters family was from (Allihies), he name was John O'Sullivan (born 1825) . He was the son of John O'Sullivan (1800-1862), this however John is believed to be Sir John O'Sullivan MP based on the fact they share the same birth and death year dates. My families (Histroical) letters and family books do talk of political involment, but none go as far as say he was a MP or a Sir, so that's why I have not jump as to claim him as my ancester. even withevidence that could point in that direction, I wish to confirm a few more clues first Some evidence states Sir John own a coppermine in Allihies, but I can not find anything to prove this. His Wife was called Margaret Meyer (English but born in Germany) found no wedding detail but possible it was in England The best way for me to confirm my John is "Sir John" is the Birth records of their children at the localAllihies church and cross check with the family book I have which date of familyr from 1750a recorded but never stated the town or village. Anybdy can help with the Children from the union of O'Sullivan & Meyers children were John 18 May 1825 (my family line decend from him)Ellon 2 Oct 1827Mortimer 12 June 1830 (went to USA 1858-59Margaret 11 June 1833 died 1835Thomas 8 Dec 1839 Died in an Accident 20 May 1857 Gorey WexfordWilliam 17 Dec 1842Cornelius 1st Jan 1845 Died in an Accident 1870 Coppermine Allihies many thanks Terry __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!

I'm afraid I'll have to disillusion Terry from "Sir" John O'Sullivan & Margaret Meyer having anything to do with Allihies. First of all John O'Sullivan wasn't born in Allihies in 1825. There is no trace of any of the children he has mentioned having been born in Allihies, or in the Allihies Parish, and there is no account of Cornelius O'Sullivan dying in an accident in the Allihies Copper Mines in 1870. I have the Church Records and the Civil Records of the Allihies Parish here.
