JAMES AND BRIDGET SULLIVAN look up please - stuck!

[katiesam]

I think CA….. could be Carmody.   (Hannah Stacher Carmody m James Sullivan 1884) so that’s one down.

I didn't think to go through it that way! Great idea! Thank you

[katiesam]

Well thinking a bit wider,
Consider the father of the girls was not James SULLIVAN, but she and children assumed his name by census time

Definitely something I will consider that I didn't think of! Last time I couldn't find a marriage certificate it was that the woman was previously married and her married name was on the marriage cert rather than her maiden so not sure why this didn't occur to me!

With the same birth date i was given and the fact it's in bermondsey surely that has to be her? Does it have a surname?

Sorry yes. SULLIVAN

[katiesam]

Great thank you. Is it possible that they never registered her birth? I'm not too hot on the rules back then. This is my husbands tree im researching - my side is very much irish and alot of them didn't register their children so i usually find the baptism records instead but thought in england it would incur a fine - not sure the reasons behind not registering.

Have had a look on GRO and cannot find a sullivan born to a MMN of Walsh that could match either of the daughters
