I am a decendent of Patrick Sullivan thought to have been born at Castletownhaven sometime between 1823 and 1831 ( birth date varies on different public records ) 

.Patrick initially moved to Swansea Wales where he worked as a copperman .

He married Ann Lewis in Swansea on 29th July 1854 .His father was recorded on the marriage certificate as Jerimiah Sullivan ( deceased ) occupation miner.

Have no record of who his mother was but do have a shared DNA connection with the surname Harrington .

Patrick and Ann had a son John sullivan born   June 1855 and the family migrated to South Australia  departing from Plymouth  23rd August 1855

I am looking for any additional information about who any other relatives may have been , particularly what the connection to the Harringtons was

  • Trevor,

    Not sure why both names are included but the names are interchangeable.

    Per FamilySearch

    • Irish given names are also Gaelic in origin and were affected by the same English influences. As with surnames, many given names were anglicized, producing many given name variations. Darby, Dermot, and Jeremiah, for example, are all variations of the same name.

     Sorry, I don't know where Knuckroe, Cork is. It is part of the Diocese of Kerry/ County Cork

  • Trevor,

    One would think they had children between 1818 and 1826 but I did not find on RootsIreland. You might be able to find on Irishgenealogy- Church Records (Free). Remember they were in the Kerry Diocese.

    Welcome to Irish Genealogy - Irish Genealogy

    There were several Sullivan/ Harrington matches in the area but the one I noted above had a son Patrick and a father Jeremiah.

    I was not able to find death records for Jeremiah and Catherine.

    Regards- Mary
