According to information from the Mallow Heritage Centre, the sponsors at Ellen's baptism were Cornelius Sweeney and Julia Curtin. It's believed Cornelius Sweeney was a neighbour of the Sullivans and it's thought he was married to one of Caheraveelane Sullivans who were related to Ellen. A granddaughter of Cornelius would later marry Ellen's brother Denis. Julia Curtin, the second sponsor, had been a neighbour of the Sullivans when they lived in Ballyknockane. Julia would later marry Sean O'Looney; they emigrated to the United States and had 12 children. Valuable information on the Sullivan family, for which I'm very grateful, came in November 2003 from 96-year-old Patrick "Pats" Curtin, Julia's nephew, who lived in Ballyknockane with one of his daughters. Sadly Pats died in September 2004.

Ellen met Thomas Treacy in Tipperary town where they were both working. It's believed Ellen might have been a parlour-maid there and it's known that Thomas worked at the gasworks in the town.

According to Ellen's marriage certificate, her residence at the time was Lavitt's Quay, Cork but it's not known how she came to live in Cork. It's thought she might have had some domestic science training - perhaps she took this training in Cork?

Ellen married Thomas Joseph TREACY, son of Thomas TREACY and Mary CAREY / CAREW, on 12 Jan 1915 in Church of S.S. Peter And Paul, Cork. Thomas was born 13 Apr 1881 in Murgasty, Co. Tipperary and was christened about 13 Apr 1881 in Tipperary. He died 13 Apr 1969 in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary and was buried in New Cemetery, Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary.

The sponsors at Thomas' baptism was Sarah Carew, probably his aunt. There was no other sponsor listed on the baptismal record.

Thomas began his career working at a gasworks in Tipperary town; according to the 1911 census he was a "gas account collector". Prior to his marriage in 1915, he became manager of the gasworks in Carrick-on-Suir (located on the Quay). Eventually he bought the Carrick gasworks.

Jo-Ann trained as a nurse in Manchester. She had always wanted to travel, so she joined the QARANC (Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps). Her terms of duty included service in Libya (in Benghazi), Cyprus, Hong Kong, Germany and Singapore. During her early years abroad Jo-Ann became very interested in nursing education and undertook a two-year course in Hull University obtaining a Diploma in Nurse Training and Education. Afterwards she spent many years training student nurses overseas and continued this work after her return to England in the 1970s. Back in England, she was appointed matron of Woolwich Hospital (the Royal Herbert) and retired as Director of Studies at Woolwich, and as an acting colonel. Following her retirement Jo-Ann lived in Henfield in West Sussex. She never married.
