Searching for information about John M. O'Sullivan who emigrated to Canada abt 1871. Marriage registry to Bridget Power listed both their origins as Waterford, Ireland. They were both previously married when they married in London, Ontario on 17 May 1875. Family legend has John's origin as County Cork.
John's parents were recorded as Denis O'Sullivan and Elizabeth Collins. Bridget's parents were listed as William Power and Mary Murray. John was born 4 Feb 1844 and Bridget on 15 Jun 1841 according to Canadian records. Bridget emigrated in 1872.
I would appreciate any information about John or Bridget.

Hi Wayne
Thank you for your query. I would recommend that you search the emigration records.Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. Liverpool, New York, etc.), this could be a good place to find more information. -And perhaps even find out an exact place of origin.
