Biography
Catherine Hollis's birth was registered in the Jul-Aug-Sep quarter of 1854 in the Liverpool district.[1]
Catherine Hollis, daughter of William Hollis, married John Sullivan on 28 May 1871 in St Peter and St Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England.[2]
In the 1901 census Catherine (age 46) was the wife of John Sullivan in Everton, Lancashire, England.[3]

In the 1891 census Catherine Sullivan (age 37) was the wife of John Sullivan in Liverpool, Lancashire, England.[4]
- John Sullivan Head Married M 40 Tailor Ireland
- Catherine Sullivan Wife Married F 37 Lancashire, England
- William Sullivan Son M 15 Tailors Apprentice Lancashire, England
- Catherine Sullivan Daughter F 13 Lancashire, England
- Mary Sullivan Daughter F 11 Scholar Lancashire, England
All the children, except Joseph (birth registration not found) were all born in West Derby, registered with last name Sullivan and mother's name Hollis. However, O'Sullivan had died before several children had married and Catherine had remarried Knowles
Possible additional son: William Thomas Sullivan's birth was registered in the Apr-May-Jun quarter of 1876 in the West Derby and Toxteth Park district.[5]
- Thomas Knowles (abt.1856-) does not appear to have been married to Catherine. Thomas, son of John Knowles, married Mary Jane Hollis (Catherine's sister} on 20 May 1877 in Kirkdale, Lancashire, England.[6] I have therefore detached Thomas from this profile and linked him to Catherine's sister Mary Jane Hollis (1856-) Williams-47589 14:31, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Catherine did not die in 1990 as origially shown on this profile. She was still living at the time of the 1901 census.[3] Williams-47589 14:44, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

information posted on obrien family public tree with ancestry.com (England) regarding Catherine O'Sullivan nee Hollis is very confusing & I can't find the profile manager on ancestry website. It lists almost 20 of Catherines children with 4 different surnames between 1871 & 1891. it includes 2 marriages during her short life dying aged 36. One of the children ( Joseph) appears to have been born a year after his mothers death. I'm so confused & need to find the person able to edit this profile. Any ideas? Catherine is my wife's Great Grandmother.
