'unknown' HARGADEN / HARGADON died date unknown. He married Ellen (Nellie) O'SULLIVAN.

Nellie and her husband lived in the Sullivan family home at Marina Terrace in Cork. They had no children.

Ellen (Nellie) O'SULLIVAN [Parents] was born about 1902 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. She died after 20 Apr 1982 in prob Cork. Ellen married 'unknown' HARGADEN / HARGADON.

Nellie worked in Roches Stores in Cork. After the death of her sister Sr. Dympna in 1981, Nellie was the only sibling left.

Michael Joseph O'SULLIVAN [Parents] was born 25 Jul 1900 in prob. Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. He died 11 May 1953 in Greenwich, Connecticut and was buried 13 May 1953 in St. Mary's Cemetery, Greenwich, Connecticut. Michael married Marie ROEDELBRANN / ROEDELBRONN.

Michael emigrated to the United States as a young man, settling in Greenwich, Connecticut at the age of about 25. He worked as a clerk for a stationery company and lived at Benedict Place in Greenwich.

Marie ROEDELBRANN / ROEDELBRONN died date unknown. She married Michael Joseph O'SULLIVAN.

We know of Marie's existence from the death certificate of her husband, Michael. Marie was alive at the time of Michael's death in 1953.

Michael's death certificate gives Marie's surname as Roedelbrann. However, purely based on a quick search on the internet, it would appear that the name Roedelbrann is almost non-existent but that the almost identical name Roedelbrann is more widely found. I have therefore added the Roedelbronn name as an alternative surname to Roedelbrann in case Roedelbronn researchers identify Marie as a member of their family.

I'm told by Diane Molnar, a great-granddaughter of a Gustav Roedelbronn who emigrated from Germany in 1895, that Roedelbronn is a very unusual name in the US, although there are many Rodels and Roeds, which could possibly be the result of name-shortening. Diane, whose Roedelbronn family settled in New Jersey, is not aware of any Connecticut connection to her family. She does know of a Roedelbronn family (possibly related to her) who settled in Wisconsin; and in the 1880 census of the United States she found information on two Roedelbronn households (unrelated, as far as she knows) who had settled in Massachusetts. Their details are as follows:

Name: Charles Roedelbronn
Home in 1880: Webster, Worcester, Massachusetts
Age: 33
Estimated birth year: abt 1847
Birthplace: Prussia
Spouse's name: Susan M. (born Connecticut)
Father's birthplace: Hesse Darmstadt
Mother's birthplace: Hesse Darmstadt
Occupation: Shoe factory worker
Marital Status: Married

Name: Frank Roedelbronn
Home in 1880: Webster, Worcester, Massachusetts
Age: 69
Estimated birth year: abt 1811
Birthplace: Hesse, Germany
Spouse's name: Christine (aged 69)
Father's birthplace: Hesse, Germany
Mother's birthplace: Hesse, Germany
Occupation: Woollen factory worker

It's possible Charles was Frank's son.
