Searching any decendants of above. Information to date is that Florence Sullivan or O'Sullivan, married Bridget Dillon from Ballyadam sometime in the 1840's They lived at Coologue in the parish of Pallasgreen. I know three of their children emigrated to NZ in l880's. Michael (my great grandfather) Patrick and a daughter. Records show that a daugher Margaret was baptised at Pallasgreen parish in May1847 and a son Patrick1852. There is no record of my great grandfather Michael's birth or baptism. Bridget Sullivan died 5/11/1880 and Florence 15/11/1880. I am visitng from NZ in October and would like to find my great great grandparents grave sites and also learn of any other children Bridget and Florence Sullivan may have had and who remained in Ireland.
I look forward to any response.

Hi Maree,
I suppose it is Laurence Sullivan who married Bridget Dillon on 12th February 1835, that you are looking for?
They married in Pallasgreen, Co. Limerick

Daughter Margaret married Thomas Carroll in 1876 in Grean, Thomas was living in Herbertstown at the time of the marriage
This couple had children who could all have descendants
Mary Carroll born 13-Dec-1876 in Herbertstown, Hanora 04-Apr-1878 Herbertstown,Alice 10-Sep-1879 Herbertstown, Bridget 29-Dec-1880, Bridgets twin sister Margaret born 2 hours later then Bridget.
John born 26-Mar-1882 Herbertstown, Ellen born 19-Feb-1884 and the last one Anne born 18-Oct-1885
Unfortunately all the names are very common to try and find them on the 1901 and 1911 census of Ireland

Maree,
Derk is a townland, a small territorial division of land within the parish of Pallasgreen.
If you can visit a grave depends if the old cemetery is still there and that the grave still exists, I will try and find out for you.

Maree,
The closest graveyard to the address where Florence lived is Aglishcormick Grave Yard in Grean.
You could try to inquire at the local churches http://cashel-emly.ie/our-diocese/parishes/l-u/pallasgreen-templebraden/
