In 1881, John and Mary Sullivan are at 9 Jerusalem Court Clerkenwell with children - John 14, William 12, James 10, Fanny 8 and Morris 4. This gives John a birthdate of c1867 and the 1871 supports this.
In 1891 the family (minus Mary who is in Holloway) are at Frye's Buildings, Pentonville. John, William and James are not at home but the remaining children are Fanny 16, Morris 14, Lizzie 12, M (daughter) 10, George 7, Sarah 5 and Betsy 3.
I can't find the family in 1901 but in 1911 Mary Ann Sullivan is at 34 Pickering Street Buildings, Islington aged 65 with unmarried children James, 38, Sarah, 23 and Catherine 18.
In his army records in 1914, John Sullivan gives his birthplace as Clerkenwell and his age as 29 - so a birthdate of c1885. His next of kin is Mary Ann Sullivan of 34 Pickering Street. Also with the next of kin info is mentioned elder sister Fanny Platt, address unknown, and younger brothers James of 34 Pickering Street and Maurice of Pentonville Road.
But it *has* to be the same person doesn't it?
And does that mean I can knock 18 years of my age?
