Died 1963
Registered in the Parramatta district as ELLEN MAY SULLIVAN, 16514/1963, parents Michael and Julia. THE YEAR ONLY IS ASSERTED. The Ryerson Index has an Ellen MARY Sullivan dying on 13 April 1963 aged 87 at Our Lady of Consolation Home, Rooty Hill, which is in the same part of western Sydney as the Parramatta registration district and would put her birth about 1876 — in the gap between Michael junior (December 1874, Caheragh) and Julia (1880, Newtown), exactly where the family's own arithmetic wants a fourth daughter. But the given name differs, and Rooty Hill is nowhere near the family's suburbs, so that row is recorded as a candidate and neither the day nor the age is entered.
