Helping a cousin with her Worcester Sullivans. Her Grandmother Mary Catherine was born in 1889 in Worcester to John J. & Mary E. (Conlan) Sullivan. John's parents were Jeremiah & Johanna. John may have been born in Ireland c. 1863 and emigrated as a child. Think that his father naturalized c. 1873 when he was a kid so he's saying he's naturalized. There is a Jeremiah & Johanna Sullivan in the 1880 Worcester census with a John about the right age. Others in the household are Denis & Patrick. John worked first as a wire drawer and in later life as a fireman for the city of Worcester. Unknown death date but he was alive in 1930 census. Is there any history of the Worcester Fire Dept.?? Does this ring a bell with anyone?? Mary Catherine Sullivan married Frank Comer in 1910.
