She immigrated from Ireland to New York before the 2nd world war , but we are trying to find out when ? She may have gone with her brother . She died in 1965

Who were her parents?
I don't see her in the 1911 census.

This is the girl in the 1929 travel record posted by Shirley.

She can't be Karen's Ellen born 1907.
But do you have proof of "your" Ellen's year of birth, Karen?

Andrew died 1949 and is buried in Schull, along with his wife (1876-1966 - nee Clancy) and a son Patrick 1917-69.

Great you've found her, her Dad was Andrew o’sullivan and yes her Mum was Catherine Clancy . It looks like her brother James went first . Thats fantastic news . It would be great to find James who also went to New york . Mary kate osullivan who was of the same family - sister to Ellen and James. we think travelled with Francis Patrick Flanagan . Maybe early 1930s . Moved to Paddington and married in Slough .

So went from Ireland to England

Therefore born c1909-10, not 1907.

I don't see her birth record so far, but here is James:

SR District/Reg Area - Schull

Birth of JAMES SULLIVAN on 04 March 1908
Name JAMES SULLIVAN
Date of Birth 04 March 1908
Group Registration ID 534949
SR District/Reg Area Schull
Sex Male
Mother's Birth Surname CLANCY

Father: Andrew Sullivan, Gubbeen, labourer.
Mother: Kate Sullivan, formerly Clancy

Informant: Ellen Sullivan, grandmother.


In 1929 his address was 1288 Amsterdam Avenue, NY.
Can't find that address in 1930 on Ancestry, nor any definite sign of James at another address .
That's a pity, as the 1930 census would have stated his year of immigration..

There are several James Sullivans in various parts of NY - assuming he was still living in NY.

We dont know when James died in New york . Nelly died 1965
