Oh yes. I see what you mean.

Did you mention that you were in touch with recent Cullen's ?

Obviously don't post their details here for privacy reasons but I know there is a Cullen family still in the area and I was wondering is this the family that you were talking about ?

I had totally forgotten but I am also connected to the Cullen family that still live in the area . . .

No. They don't live locally anymore.

Any idea of the cause of death? I'm thinking Parkinson's ... As it looks completely different from the phythsis a few rows above?

If you click on ., you can see the record for Francis Cullen (either Bridget's father or her husband, Matthew's uncle 🙄

Thank you

I'm pretty sure it's Phythsis . . . (Just on a bad handwriting day)

And that's Bridget's FATHER . . .

What makes you certain about which Francis it is?
It was my thought with the stone cutter, but Matthew's family were stone cutters too and his uncle was born same time was Bridget's father. Unfortunately ancestry website is down, so can't double check the other Francis's place of birth.
Also, it's the same clerk's writing as above but it does look like a different word. I tried googling it. Parkinson's was identified in the early 1800s.

I think you need to relook at all the posts that I made.

I have shown you that the Francis Cullen that lived in Digges Street was Bridget's FATHER . . .

I have shown you the timeline from his marriage in Sandyford church, his first two children being born in that parish and the move to Dublin City where his following 8 children (including Bridget) were born, up to his death in 1888 and his widow and surviving children moving back to the Sandyford parish where they appear on the 1901 & 1911 Census . . .

You even have Francis Cullen (who died at Digges Street) marriage which states that his father was PATRICK Cullen (absolutely NO connection to your Matthew / Denis Cullen branch).

I'm sorry but I can't understand why you are finding this confusing . . .
