About Patrick Sullivan and Rose Leddy

About Patrick Sullivan and Rose Corcoran

Not much is known about Patrick Sullivan except that he lived in Dennbane/Denbawn, Denn Parish, County Cavan, Ireland. Records have been located which express the Sullivan last name with the Soraghan/Soroghan/Sorohan spelling. His wife, Rose (c1804-1874), is identified in various documents as having the maiden name of Leddy, McCabe and/or Corcoran. However, it is believed her maiden name was Corcoran. She also is from Ireland, most likely Drumbarry, Co. Cavan. They had at least 11 children, many which immigrated to the US. The children include: Mary (died before 1915 probably in Ireland); Rose Sullivan (died before 1915 probably in Ireland); Michael (c1829-1915); Ellen (c1830-1900); Thomas (c1831-a1901&b1911 in Ireland); James (c1931-1898); Patrick (c1831-1881); Andrew (c1833-1881); Peter F. (c1838-1896); Philip J. (1840-1915) [See also the Sullivan/Connor Genelaogy Blog]; and Matthew (1841-a1916). It is believed that neither Patrick nor Rose immigrated but lived and died in Ireland.

Andrew O'Sullivan (1882-1923) at work

Sometime after Andrew O'Sullivan's 1909 graduation from The Royal College of Science for Ireland, he became the agricultural inspector for the Mallow area of County Cork. It is believed this photo might show him having judged and/or participated at an agricultural event in the area. Andrew is sitting in the center of the photo holding a pipe. I wonder if it is possible that the group of individuals pictured here were part of the Cork County Committee of Agriculture.

Photo c 1917-1921
Note: The Cork County Committee of Agriculture was founded in 1901 and existed until 1988. For more information on the Committee refer to the Descriptive List of documents held by the Cork City and County Archives: http://www.corkarchives.ie/media/CC-CM-AGweb.pdf. I wonder if there is information about Andrew in these archives?

Photo source: Big thanks to Micil Ryan, great niece of Capt. Andy O'Sullivan, for providing this photo.
