Hello...In reply to Fran Weeks' question about the Sullivans and O'Connors, I have a Hannah sullivan whom my ggg grandather, James O'Connor, married around 1822(?). She was born in 1799, and he born in 1801; not quite sure where in Ireland, but believe it was in the Roscommon/Kerry area. Any connections here? I've found numerous mentions of O'Connors and Suolivans marrying, so it's been quite hard to trace my particular line.

According to family - father, uncles, aunts, cousins etc etc, one of our Cork g.grandmothers went by the name of " Lily ". But I can find no trace of this name in the records - so it must, of course, be a pet name or nickname, so what would the " real " name be??? This would have been about early to mid 1800s.

I would have thought that " Lily " may have been Ellen or Elizabeth, but these names don't fit with the records.

I have recently discovered within my Sullivan roots other families from the surrounding area and thought I'd mention them here just in case anyone's interested. Have a look! Baptisms of children of Jeremiah and Catherine (O'CONNOR) SULLIVAN: 06/10/1807 - Ellen, WITNESSES: Jeremiah CONNOR & Margaret SAVAGE 11/20/1809 - Catherine, WITNESSES: Thomas COLLINS & Margaret STACK 04/04/1812 - Daniel, WITNESSES: John SULLIVAN & Catherine SULLIVAN 01/16/1817 - John, WITNESSES: John SHEA & Bridget CONNOR 09/09/1821 - Dermot, WITNESSES: Denis SHEA & Joanna CONNOR Jeremiah's father was also named John SULLIVAN. His wife may have been Julia SHEA. It appears that these births, which were in the townland of Tralee, barony of Trughanacmy, took place in different parishes, several of which I haven't been able to locate. These include: Curraheen, Diriquay(?) or Derryquay(?), Ratass, Curraghleha (East or West?) and Tralee.
