Thomas Aloysius Sullivan, the oldest child of Alexander Sullivan (1880-1956) and Ellen Madigan (1880-1966) was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 7, 1908.

They both grew up on the west side of Chicago and married on Christmas Eve, 1929 at St. Mel Church. Their only son, Thomas Desmond Sullivan, was born in Chicago in 1930. Besides living in Illinois, Tom and Margaret also lived in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Margaret died on May 27, 1982. Tom remarried, eventually moving to Venice, Florida where he died on July 11, 1996. For information related to Thomas A. Sullivan prior to marriage go to the Sullivan/Madigan Genealogy Blog.

Sullivan/Carmody Marriage Record, 1929

I
Written on the July 18, 1908 baptismal entry for Thomas Aloysius Sullivan at St. Agatha Church, Chicago, is a notation of his marriage to Margaret Carmody at St. Mel Church, Chicago, on December 24, 1929. It is common to require proof of baptism when a Catholic is being married in a Catholic Church. When the proof of baptism is being provided, often the priest will make a notation on the baptismal record as shown here for Tom.
