DESCENDANTS OF 'unknown' SULLIVAN (to contribute information, please email Helen@HelensFamilyTrees.com)

Third Generation

Daniel and Mary had the following children:

	9	F	i	Ellen O'SULLIVAN was born about 20 Nov 1880 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 20 Nov 1880 in Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. Ellen is listed, aged 30 and single, in the 1911 census return for her parents' household, suggesting that she still lived in the family home. Unfortunately we have no further information on Ellen.
+	10	M	ii	James (Jamesy Dan) O'SULLIVAN was born about 10 Jan 1883 and died Jun 1966.
	11	M	iii	Michael O'SULLIVAN was born about 3 Oct 1884 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 3 Oct 1884 in Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. He died possibly before 1901. Michael isn't listed in the 1901 census return for his parents' household. Had he died, or did he spend the night of March 31st 1901 away from home? He would have been 16 at the time of the 1901 census. Nor is he listed in the 1911 census for his parents' household. Could he have been one of the twins we know who died as infants?
	12		iv	'unknown' SULLIVAN (twin) was born in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. 'unknown' died as an infant and was buried in Donoughmore Cemetery, Co. Cork.
	13		v	'unknown' SULLIVAN (twin) was born in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. 'unknown' died as an infant and was buried in Donoughmore Cemetery, Co. Cork. Dan and Mary's twins died as infants and are buried in the O'Sullivan plot in Donoughmore Cemetery where their parents are buried (although neither the twins' nor their parents' names are listed on the headstone).
	14	M	vi	Daniel (Dan) O'SULLIVAN was born about 26 Oct 1889 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 26 Oct 1889 in Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. He died Nov 1963 and was buried in Gouldshill Cemetery, Mallow, Co. Cork. Dan never married. He lived with Jamesy and his family and is buried with Jamesy.

Catherine (Kate) MAHONY was born about 1872.

They had the following children:

	18	F	i	Mary Ann (Sr. Mary Munchin) O'SULLIVAN was born 6 May 1882 in Ballyknockane, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 9 May 1882 in Analeentha Church, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. She died 23 Jun 1913 in Chiswick, London and was buried in Catholic Cemetery, Kensal Green, London. According to information from the Mallow Heritage Centre, the sponsors at Mary's baptism were Richard Murphy and Mary O'Sullivan. On 14 August 1909 Mary entered the convent of the Sisters of Marie Réparatrice on Windmill Road in Cork, and on 22 February 1910 she received the habit and the name Sr. Mary of St. Munchin. The Sisters of Marie Réparatrice were a closed order whose members wore pale blue robes and were known as the Blue Nuns. Mary was only 31 years of age when she died in London of tuberculosis (of the lung and larynx). She had arrived in London, already ill, on 1 December 1911. She made her first profession in London on 25 May 1912 and died 13 months later in the Marie Réparatrice convent at Tower House, 4 Chiswick Lane, Chiswick. Mary is described in the convent journal as having been "full of virtue".
+	19	M	ii	James (Jimmy) O'SULLIVAN was born 17 Dec 1883 and died 6 Oct 1959.
+	20	F	iii	Johanna (Hannah) O'SULLIVAN was born about 25 Oct 1885 and died about 1980.
	21	M	iv	Daniel O'SULLIVAN was born about 20 Oct 1886 in Ballyknockane, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 20 Oct 1886 in Analeentha Church, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. He died probably before 1901. According to information from the Mallow Heritage Centre, the sponsors at Daniel's baptism were William Hayes and Mary McSweeney. It's possible that Mary McSweeney was a grandmother of Maura O'Hanlon (née O'Sullivan) who would have been a niece of Daniel's - the McSweeney/Sweeney family were neighbours of the O'Sullivans. Another connection between the Sweeneys and the Sullivans is that it's thought Cornelius Sweeney who was the father of Mary's husband, Jeremiah, was married to a member of the Sullivan family of Caheraveelane. There doesn't seem to be any recollection of Daniel as an adult, nor is his name listed in the 1901 census. It's known from the 1911 census that of the 12 children born to James and Julia, only nine were alive in 1911, so it's being assumed that Daniel was one of those who died young.
+	22	F	v	Ellen O'SULLIVAN was born 24 Oct 1887 and died 18 Sep 1972.
+	23	M	vi	John (Jack) O'SULLIVAN was born about 19 Jan 1890 and died 16 Mar 1975.
+	24	M	vii	Eugene O'SULLIVAN was born about 3 Apr 1893 and died 31 Dec 1988.
+	25	M	viii	Denis O'SULLIVAN was born about 28 Jul 1895 and died 31 May 1971.
+	26	F	ix	Margaret (Madge) O'SULLIVAN was born about 1897 and died about 1925.
	27	F	x	Julia O'SULLIVAN was born about 1901 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened in Analeentha Church, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. She died about 1920 in Cork and was buried in Donoughmore Cemetery, Stuake, Co. Cork (O'Sullivan plot). It's likely Julia died of tuberculosis. She is buried with her parents in the O'Sullivan family plot in Donoughmore cemetery, although her name isn't listed on the headstone. Note: There are two Donoughmore cemeteries, one in the centre of the village, and a newer one in Stuake, just outside Donoughmore, next to a church built about 2001. Our O'Sullivans are buried in the newer cemetery.

Michael and Catherine had the following children:

	28	M	i	Michael Joseph O'SULLIVAN was born 25 Jul 1900 in probably 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 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.
				Michael married Marie ROEDELBRANN / ROEDELBRONN. Marie died date unknown. 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 U.S., 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.

	29	M	ii	Peter O'SULLIVAN was born about 1901 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. He died probably 8 Oct 1921 in probably Charleville, Co. Cork and was buried in probably Charleville, Co. Cork. We are assuming that a headstone in the cemetery adjoining Charleville Church refers to Peter. It reads: "In loving memory of Peter O'Sullivan, New Line, So. Charleville who died 8-10-1921. R.I.P." The inscription on this headstone is the source of Peter's probable date of death.
	30	F	iii	Ellen (Nellie) O'SULLIVAN was born about 1902 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. She died after 20 Apr 1982 in probably Cork. Nellie worked in Roches Stores in Cork. After the death of her sister Sr. Dympna in 1981, Nellie was the only sibling left.
				Ellen married 'unknown' HARGADEN / HARGADON. 'unknown' died date unknown. Nellie and her husband lived in the Sullivan family home at Marina Terrace in Cork. They had no children.
	31	M	iv	John Joseph (Fr. Ephrem) O'SULLIVAN was born about 1903 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. He died 1958 in Capuchin Friary, Dublin. John joined the Capuchin order, becoming Fr. Ephrem. He served in Kilkenny for many years prior to moving to Raheny in Dublin.
	32	F	v	Margaret (Peggy) Mary O'SULLIVAN was born about 1906 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. She died in probably Cork.
				Margaret married 'UNKNOWN'. 'UNKNOWN' died date unknown. Peggy and her husband lived on Donovan's Road in Cork (near UCC). It's not known if they had any children.
	33	M	vi	David O'SULLIVAN was born about 1908 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. He died 25 Jul 1953 in Cork and was buried in Charleville, Co. Cork. David, who never married, lived in the family home at 13 Marina Terrace in Cork. He died at St. Joseph's Hospital, Mount Desert, Cork.
	34	F	vii	Mary Catherine (Sr. Annunciata) O'SULLIVAN "Sr. Annunciata" was born 10 Sep 1910 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. She died 3 Oct 1939 in Yaba, Nigeria and was buried in Lagos, Nigeria. Mary was educated at the Mercy convent in Charleville and, in 1926, entered the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles (OLA) convent at Ardfoyle, Ballintemple, Cork, where she was professed two years later. She left for Nigeria in 1931 and spent seven years teaching at St. Agnes's College in Yaba. In 1938 she fell ill and returned to Ireland to recuperate. In June 1939, after a year at home, she returned to Yaba, where, three months later, she died of blackwater fever, a form of malaria. In the convent's cemetery at Ardfoyle there's a statue donated by her family in memory of her.
	35	F	viii	Catherine (Sr. Dympna) O'SULLIVAN was born 29 Aug 1914 in probably Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork and was christened 2 Sep 1914 in Holy Cross Church, Charleville. She died 20 Apr 1982 in Ennis, Co. Clare. Catherine entered the Poor Clare Monastery in College Road, Cork in 1933, becoming Sr. Dympna. She was appointed vicaress there in 1952. The College Road community then founded the Blantyre Monastery in Scotland and Sr. Dympna was abbess there from 1957 to 1962. After the Ennis monastery was established, Sr. Dympna was transferred there as novice mistress and was shortly afterwards appointed abbess.
