Sullivan family in Avoca
I’m trying to trace my maternal grandmother’s family. She was Mary Sullivan (1891 – 1963) and worked for the Fitzgeralds.I believe her father was Patrick. I know that at some point the family lived in Avoca. Several male family members died at sea. I haven’t found any documentation so far but have been told there aren’t many Sullivans in Avoca. Any possible descendents still living there?

A son Daniel was born in 1884. My great grandmothers and Mary’s parents were John Corcoran and Rose Carroll. Rosemided in 1901 and was living with John Sullivan and her daughter Mary Corcoran/Sullivan when she passed away .
