I hope somebody can help my boyfriend and I get past the brick wall we have hit. We have the names of his great-grand father. It was Reuben Sullivan and he was married to Emeline. They had 2 boys, Edgar (1862) and Hiram (1864). The 1871 census states that Reuben was 49 years old and his wife was 41. In the 1881 Reuben is 50 years old and a widower. It also states that he was born in America and the boys in Quebec. They were methodist. It would be a great help if somebody knew were Reuben was born and what his wifes maiden name was.
Thanks.

Your best bet would be to try to find out when & where REUBEN SULLIVAN died and then check the local paper for an obituary and hope that where he was born was included. Here is an item I found on a MRS. HIRAM SULLIVAN. And, the 1881 Canada Census & HIRAM SULLIVAN & family in 1901. I tried to find REUBEN SULLIVAN in 1850 & 1860 US census records to no avail.

Hi.....

I just came across your msg.

The following will answer part of your question as to Reuben's wife's maiden name.


[Edgar Sullivan and Anna Hill were married February 27, 1882. Both resided in Dixville, Que., Canada. He was a 21 year old carpenter. He was born in Barnston, Que. to Reuben and Emelain/Emiline (nee Dunning) Sullivan.]

Hope this is of some help.

Which branch (Edgar or Hiram) are you off of?

Regards
Darlene

Hi Darlene,
OOOPS. I didn't see the last question. My boyfriends family is out of Edgar and Annie. They had a son, Leonard Earl, and Leonard had a son Colin Randall. Colin's son, Randall Colin is my boyfriend. And yes you guessed it, Randall Colin has a son named Colin Randall.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Dorthe.....

The reason I asked you which branch your boyfriend was from was because Edgar's wife Annie ties in with my 'Young' family in a round about way.

My G. Grandmother (on my father's side) was Lodema (Hill) sister of Annie. Therefore Edgar would have been my Grandfather's 1st cousin (that's correct isn't it :-)

Do you have any old photos of these people or know anyone that might have?

Here is some additional info in case you don't already have it -

[Edgar Sullivan and Anna Hill were married February 27, 1882. Both resided in Dixville, Que., Canada. He was a 21 year old carpenter. He was born in Barnston, Que. to Reuben and Emelain/Emiline (Dunning) Sullivan. Anna Hill was 17 and born in Holland, Vermont. Her parents were Silas and Ann (Taplin) [Source: Margaret Castonguay, Ass't at Town Clerk's office, Island Pond, Vermont, Town of Brighton] [Source: Town of Brighton (Island Pond), Vermont - Town Clerk's Vital Records - Book I, Pages 4, 15 and 24]

Looking forward to hearing from you. If you would like - you can e-mail directly.

I was searching for Sullivans in Coaticook and found your very helpful reply to an earlier inquiry. Wondered if you might be able to point me in a useful direction -
My great-grandfather Harley Holbrook was a widower (in his late 70s) from Beebe Plains and married Cora Sullivan from Coaticook in 1945. I have no idea where or when he died, and would appreciate any leads.
Thanks!
