In the 1901 census the family are at 25 Church Street, Gillingham

William Sullivan 26, b Gillingham Kent
Mary Louisa 29, b Walton Suffolk
William Geo 7, b New Brompton Kent
John Chos 5, b Bromley Kent
Philip Hy 2, b Gillingham Kent

I think I can see a death for William George in 1902

William and Mary Louisa seem to be living in Fairview Avenue, Gillingham in 1939 with a daughter Edith M Sullivan b 1914

Further possible son:- Arthur G Sullivan born 1912.

Mary Louisa's maiden name would be Webb, but I cannot find any marriage for her and William

Well done! Where did you find this information? I'm always looking to increase my armoury!

I can also see that Edith Mabel Sullivan married and became a Potter with one child, still living in Kent.

Obviously a living person so can't give details publicly

He died 1916, or is 1939 a typo?
