Look up required in South Australia - Daniel SULLIVAN c1862 COMPLETED

[janeoz123]

Would someone be able to have a look a birth for the above man?  I believe he was born in south Australia to Daniel Sullivan & Mary Halpin.  Mary Halpin came out to Australia aboard the ship 'Hooghly' which arrived in 1846.
Appreciate any help as I have not done any research in Sth Aust. yet.

thanks.

Hi Jane,

A Big Welcome to RootsChat! 

Can you tell us any more about these people please? I am not seeing anything to fit. No birth listed for Daniel but looking at the names they may well be Catholic and we find in our early history a lot of Catholics did not register their children. They felt baptism was far more important.

There is no marriage listed for a Daniel SULLIVAN and Mary HALPIN - there is however this marriage

SULLIVAN Michael full age single father unrecorded = HALPIN Mary Full age father unrecorded 11 Jun 1850 Catholic Church Adelaide Dist Ade 8 196

Sorry I should have said Michael Sullivan as father - not Daniel!  Thanks for the info. No more children listed?? Where else should I look for Daniel's birth?
What is the last entry?  So...Mary Anne was born in 1855 & Daniel 1857?   I had Daniel as c1862, but it was second hand info. Thanks.

Hi Jane,

This information is submitted so may not be correct either. There are no births registered to this couple (further complicated by another Michael and Mary who did register their births. He was a police officer and they had children Daniel Thomas and Mary Anne born about the same time as the BISA suggests these two were born. She was Mary COONAN)

I wonder if Catholic Archives may be able to help.

Did Daniel marry in SA?

Cheers Kris

I do not know if he married in SA.  Daniel married a woman by the name of Margaret Jane mcCann.  She was born in Vic, so I suspect that the marriage was in Vic.
The Vic BDM website is down at th emoment so I cannot search for Daniel's death cert.
Thanks for your help so far.
