Cornelius seems to have lived in 1884 and 6 (that's all I checked, for now) at 50 York St. in New Haven, along with Bernard and Timothy Sullivan. The directory wouldn't list the wife. You don't happen to know a Eugene Sullivan who lived with my gr grandmother's family? These Sullivans are all in relatively the same area of New Haven. There are, of course, LOTS of other Sullivans! If you are interested and this is a promising direction I can do more research. Sue On 3/13/2013 12:02 PM, Frank Sullivan wrote: > Susan, an interesting family.
