I simply cannot find them in either Ireland or England in 1911

I have the following info, which I have used as the basis for my search

Name: John Joseph Sullivan
Baptism Age: 0
Event Type: Baptism
Birth Date: 10 Jan 1900
Baptism Date: 18 Jan 1900
Baptism Place: Bray, Wicklow, Ireland
Residence Place: Little Bray
Diocese: Dublin
Father: Patrick Sullivan
Mother: Elizabeth Dowd

Patrick and Elizabeth married in Little Bray on 16th Feb 1897

1901 census

Residents of a house 23 in Back Street (Bray Town, Wicklow)

Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion
Sullivan James 72 Male Father R C Widowed
Sullivan Pat 24 Male Son R C Married
Sullivan James 20 Male Son R C Single

Dowed Elizabeth 26 Female Wife R C
Sullivan Mary 2 Female Daughter R C
Sullivan John 1 Male Son R C
Byrne John 64 Male Lodger R C
Sweeney George 41 Male Lodger I C

Still definitely in Bray in 1902

Name: Patrick Joseph Sullivan
Baptism Age: 0
Event Type: Baptism
Birth Date: 2 Oct 1902
Baptism Date: 16 Oct 1902
Baptism Place: Bray, Wicklow, Ireland

Possibly still there in 1904 - IF Patrick Joseph had died, and mother used a 'pet' name

Name: Patrick Sullivan
Baptism Age: 0
Event Type: Baptism
Birth Date: 9 Aug 1904
Baptism Date: 15 Aug 1904
Baptism Place: Bray, Wicklow, Ireland
Residence Place: Little Bray

Mother: Lilly Dowd

Also Elizabeth Sullivan same DOB and parents

John Joseph married Dorothy Loveday in Swindon in 1926 and is on the 1939 in Swindon

His son (aged 90) is my next-door neighbour and I'm trying to help him to find out what happened to his grandparents.

If anyone can find any of the family in 1911, it will be much appreciated

Patrick was a labourer in 1901, which matches that 1911 - but the majority of men were labourers in those days.

another suggestion for 1911:


Both labourers and lodgers among many others at the same address. I've no idea if these two are related to each other or not. If Elizabeth had died, I suppose Patrick was technically single.

Thank you for your kind help. Certainly something to work on, which is more than I had before

Appreciated.

ArgyllGran has posted above:

"His NOK when he joined the Irish Guards in 1905 :

Father: Patrick. Address: Convent Road, Wicklow.
Brother: Patrick (E). Address: [something I can't read] 2/E Lancs Regt."

The image shows as above re father, Patrick but under it says:
"BrotherS' Partick (E)
+ Michael (E) 2/E Lancs Regt.

Do those brothers fit with 'your' Thomas?

I know nothing about Thomas other than the 1901 census.
I don’t think there was a Michael, but will investigate further once NYE is out of the way
Thank you for your interest and assistance
