I think maybe that Paul would have been born as Cannon and not Gullivan.
I assumed that he was Susannah's son born 7 - 8 years before she married.
I can't find a baptism record for him in France or Ireland.
There is no reason why Cornelius would change his name as he was born a Gullivan after Susannah's marriage.

Snap Flip!

Surely Paul is Susannah's son born before her marriage? Peter Gullivan would have been 12 when he Paul was born, so highly unlikely to be his father.

The only census to record Paul's name as Gullivan was 1861, probably because that was his mothers name by then, he was more likely to have been born as Cannon.

wonder why would change to step mothers maiden name, maybe cornelius did the same ,

Re the marriage posted by PH - Lancs BMD shows Susan Cannon married John McDonald at Christ Church, Ince.

Same church as marriage for Daniel Pennington/Mary Ellen Cannon

Just for perspective, a tree on Ancestry has Peter & Susannah's marriage certificate.

They married 16 July 1855 in the Chapel of Farnworth in Prescot.

Peter Gullavin age 20, a labourer as was his father John.

Susannah Cannon age 25, her father John Cannon was also a labourer.

Neither had been married before and both stated as living Widnes.

Witnesses: Elizabeth Cannon and Robert Henderson ??
..................................................................................................................

So, Peter was way too young to be Paul's father. Paul would have been born a Cannon which is reflected in the census already posted.

have lost peter, paul and cornelius gullivan have been told paul may have been born france 1847 but unlikely susan/sussanah cannon/ canning is his birth mother
dont have deaths for any of them, will now look in usa

Not exactly getting anywhere with Cornelius are we?

Have you found what happened to his brother Paul(or rather half brother I would think)?

If Cornelius moved to the continent or Ireland we couldn't find him on shipping lists, and there appears to be a France connection. There's no death I can see for his father Peter either.

thank you so much every body, for garner info, had lost them too.
cornelius is my brick wall.

He's not with nephew Thomas either - it states he arrived 1905, Mary in 1906. married 3 years, 3 children all born NY.
