Title: Seeking Ellen Sullivan
Post by: ajbird on Thursday 13 April 06 00:02 BST (UK)
Hello Folk's
        I am seeking information on my Grandmother Ellen Sullivan, born in County Cork around 1986 +/- two years.  She moved to Massachusetts and married in Malden 20 October 1909, to Charled Bird.  She passed away around 1951/1952 in Wrentham Massachusetts.

Thank You

May God Bless

John,

What info are you looking for?

Do you have her in the 1900, 1910, 1920 & 1930 census?

The census records should show her children, if she had any.

There's a Charles Bird in the Social Security Death Index on Rootsweb:

Born:  20 June 1880   
Died:  April 1976 in Wrentham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts

Is this her husband?

Regards,
Josephine

Hello Josephine
        After checking the Social Security death index on rootsweb  I find that yes it is my grandfather and thank you for directing me to that web address and thanks for your effort on my behalf.  I have been to the chat room and was given several leads to find more information.  I have traced my grandfather's family back to about 1814 in England.    Now I am trying to find my grandmothers family from somewhere in County Cork I believe.

May God Bless
