JAMES AND BRIDGET SULLIVAN look up please - stuck!

[mckha489]

Another child
Gulielmus Sullivan born 24 August 1888 baptised as before 9 sept 1888
Parents as before  except Welsh not Walsh

Godparents

Jacobus Dorgan and Maria Anna Sullivan

Could Maria Anna Sullivan be the Maria Anna Cummins earlier?   Added….maybe not. Can’t find a marriage.

[mckha489]

Surely ONE of them must have been registered! 

[mckha489]

27 June 1890 Anna Dorgan was born
Baptised our Lady of La Salette

Father James Dorgan, mother Maria Anna Thornton

But the godparents are
Gulielmus Welsh & Birgitta Sullivan

So now I think we have James Welsh/Walsh, William Welsh/Walsh and Bridget,

Another one

14 Feb 1878
Jacobus Sullivan
Parents Jacobi Sullivan and Birgittaie  Walsh
godparents David Fitzgerald & Maria Walsh

Probably as an aside, but I do note that on the 1901 census where Bridget snr. is a widow , there are 2 families surnamed WELCH living next door and one up from her.

One person head of her (EDIT) household aged 70 was born in Ireland. Can't read her (EDIT) name.


Scribbly awful writing.!

Perhaps Wiilliam Sullivan (b. 1888) might have died as he is not seen on census with Bridget.

William Walsh  45 born Ireland, dock labourer
Mary Walsh 35 born Ireland, char woman
Bridgett Walsh 14 born Ireland
Ann Walsh 12 born Ireland
James Walsh 10 months born Bermondsey

Probably as an aside, but I do note that on the 1901 census where Bridget snr. is a widow , there are 2 families surnamedd WELCH living next door and one up from her.

One man, head of his household aged 70 was born in Ireland. Can't read his name.

Looks like
Mary Welsh 70 born Ireland
John Welsh 26, son, Boiler maker born Bermondsey

[sparrett]

Yes maybe.

I did edit my post to indicate female.
