I believe that my 3rd GGrandfather Patrick Sullivan married my 3rd GGrandmother, Mary Tierney in Offaly about 1822.  Patrick may have been from Galway.  I can imagine how many Patrick Sullivans and Mary Tierneys there are but I was hoping to somehow find out some more about them. They eventually came to Australia with a daughter Mary,   Mary was born in Armagh.  I have no more information than that unfortunately and all of that is from death certificates.

    Hello again!

    I searched on Roots Ireland and was unable to find a Mary Tierney marriage to a Sullivan around 1820 so I assume the church they were married in, no longer has records back to the 1820 era. I did find a transcription of the baptismal record for Mary in 1832 in Armagh town as you indicated. See below.

  • Once again, thank you Roger.  As you are probably well aware, working from death certificates is not the best way look for your relatives.  Their daughter, Mary, who was 2GGrandmother, predeceased her parents so the information provided for the death certificates was provided by Mary's children.    Julie
