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.

Rose and Patrick Sorahan/Soraghan/Sullivan Death Registrations

Thank you to Eileen Sullivan, third cousin, for providing copies of the death registrations for Patrick and Rose (Corcoran) Sullivan.

Rose was born in Drumbarry, County Cavan in c1805 per the 1821 Cavan Irish Census. She died in Denbawn on July 25, 1874 of chronic dyspepsia (which includes painful, difficult or disturbed digestion, sometimes accompanied with symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, heartburn, bloating and stomach discomfort.) which she had for 6 years. A neighbor, Michael McEvoy, supplied the information for the death registration.


Patrick died two years later in Denbawn on July 3, 1876. He had no medical attendant and was assumed to have died of old age. His son, Thomas Sorahan, was the informant for the death registration.
