Hi Jane,

I would also advise the  purchase Daniel's marriage certificate, information contained in certificates is invaluable.  It seems you are aware of Daniels parents names and there is a marriage to match those names. What we do not have are any birth registrations to Michael SULLIVAN and Mary HALPIN. We do have another marriage with a wife Mary COONAN in 1854 and several births listed to this couple.

You seemed to be very pleased by the marriage of Mary Anne. In the absence of any birth registrations, it is my concern re the marriage for Mary Anne SULLIVAN to James ELLARD that this may well be the daughter of Michael and Mary COONAN and you may be adding incorrect information your tree. Unfortunately our SA certificates will not list Mary Anne's mothers name.

Cheers Kris  

PS: Great find Cando - I had no certain deaths for Michael and Mary in SA.   Purchase of one of these death certs will certainly clarify their children.  (Mary's looks pretty good with the name HALPIN)

I am stunned by the amount of info I have obtained from you Cando, in such a short space of time.  I too have my doubts about the marriage of Mary Anne Sullivan to James Ellard.  I have spoken to my mother in law who is married to the grandson of Daniel Sullivan.  She seems to think that Mary Anne became a nun, but she is going to check for me.  Not real sure how she's going to do that as I mentioned before, info on this Sullivan family is VERY light on the ground!

Thanks so much.  You have hopefully uncovered some definite facts for my husband's family.  I posted as a long shot, never dreaming I'd get anything back!

This is a wonderful resource to have online.

Kris....Mary Halpin's birth will not be registered in Australia as she emigrated here in 1846 aboard the ship Hooghly (from information gained elsewhere).  I have no idea the birthplace of Michael Sullivan.

Hi Jane,

I was talking about this death registration provided by Cando - Mary SULLIVAN father Michael HALPIN

As Cando has said - this certificate should list her children. (and this one tells us this Mary SULLIVAN  had the maiden name of HALPIN.)

Cheers Kris.

I noticed the following snippet from the Argus
http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/9069336?searchTerm=daniel+sullivan

and then followed by an inquest into Daniel's death.  Deaths in institutions often are subject to inquests.
