Thanks Kay. I'm not sure how this family relates to my mgm's family - the names are the same! My gm (Mary) was born 1895 to John Hussey & Bridget Sullivan. Her siblings were Peter (1886) Dave (1887), Nora (1889) Bridget (1890) Martin (1893) Mary (my gm, 1895) Mike(1896), and Thomas (1898). There may have been another brother Patrick (1884) but he may have died young and my gm never spoke of him. I should have included this info in the post - I was probably tired or frustrated by that point. Sorry!

Caryn........ this might be the marriage???
John Hussey and a Bridget Sullivan
1889 Qtr.1 Vol.5 Page 45 Cahersiveen, Co Kerry

Though some of your birth dates are earlier than 1889.
How reliable are they?

Have a look at the website:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/#=0

Have just noted the following birth:
Hanora Hussey
1889 Qtr.1 Vol.5 Page 43 Cahersiveen, Co Kerry.
This fits in with your Nora!
Might be worth ordering that cert.
