Bridget Sullivan b1866 arrived from Clare in 1885 and married Samuel Platt in Sydney on 23rd Oct 1890. A witness was Patrick Sullivan who is supposedly an uncle but possibly a cousin who preceded her to NSW. The only Patrick Sullivan to arrive in Sydney from Clare between 1875 - 1885 as an Assisted Immigrant arrived in 1881 aboard "Peterborough". I've extracted all Clare arrivals on the same ship and posted them below in case it is of interest to others. The data comes from NSW State Archives website where shipping papers have been digitised. I wonder if anyone can identify with the origins or fate of Patrick Sullivan born c1860 after his arrival in NSW. There are over 120 possibilities for his death.
