William Joseph Sullivan b: 14 Dec, 1885 Stafford Springs CT d: 15 June 1957 Stafford Springs, CT Jessie (Downes) Sullivan b: 7 July 1889 Florence New York d: 28 May 1935 Stafford Springs, CT.
Harold married Irene Gareau in 17 Sept 1929 in Huntington, MA. to this union 8 children were born. Melvin E married Mary Elkanich.To this union one daughter was born. Vina did not marry.
I found William and James Sullivan in the 1900 census in Connecticut living with the David Ramsey family. I have found William and James birth in the Stafford Vital Records thanks to an answer to a query I put out. I found that William's parents are Eugene Sullivan and Mary Donovan both from Cork County Ireland. I have their marriage date and 5 children and Mary's death date. I haven't got an obituary for William. I didn't find them in any census and after Mary died I have not found Eugene. William, Jessie and Vina are buried in the Crystal Lake Cemetery Stafford Connecticut.
There are a few gaps in this family but trying to work them out.
