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 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.

Peter O'SULLIVAN was born about 1901 in Newline, Charleville, Co. Cork. He died prob 8 Oct 1921 in prob Charleville, Co. Cork and was buried in prob 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. |
