In 1915, on Michael Sullivan's (son of Patrick and Rose Sullivan) certificate of mailing petition, it states his brother Matthew lives in Denbawn [Dennbane], County Cavan, Ireland. At the time of Michael's death in 1915, Michael was approximately 85 years old. By 1915, Matthew would be approximately 74 years old using the 1901 Irish Census as a guide.
Per the 1901 Census, Matthew is listed as 60 years old, his wife, Catherine, 58 and three children,Catherine, 19, Mathew 18 and Bridget 16. They were all born in County Cavan.
They are enumerated on Sheet 19. The cover sheets for Dennbane show Matthew Soroghan has a private dwelling with 4 out-houses/farm steadings. That the house is inhabited, has four rooms, with 3 windows in front. It notes Mathew Soroghan is the landholder. The census information was taken on the 11 September 1901.
Also in Dennbane, as reported in the 1901 Census, are other Soroghans including Peter, Thomas and Michael, all of whom are living with their respective families. Since none of them are listed on Michael Sullivan's heirship report, it is believed they are not his brothers but possibly cousins or some other relationship.
