Hello,
I am new to this list and mailing some of my family in the hopes that someone
may have a connection or could help me further.
I have been busy researching part of my family in Australia and have just
discovered their roots in NEATH.
I have a JAMES SULLIVAN and ELLEN (nee OSBORNE) living at Green Neath,
Glamorgan, Wales. These are my 2xGt Grandparents.
JAMES was born in Cork, Ireland c. 1825. His parents are believed to be
William and Ann born Ireland c. 1798 (still to be confirmed).
ELLEN was born in Cork, Ireland c. 1828. It is thought that her mother was
JUANA OSBORNE born Ireland c. 1798.
In 1851 Census of Neath (The Green), Glamorgan. Wales. U.K. Ref.

experience in hunting out Catholic records in South Wales? I would love to
hear from you.
