family confidence: 95 — certain (corroborated)

Married Catherine Murphy (JJM's paternal aunt = Patrick Murphy's sister) on 23 Feb 1884 at Eyeries. Per the cert, Patrick lived in Slieve (same townland as JJM's later 1883 birthplace); his father was John Sullivan of Reenavaud. USER SIGNAL 2026-05-27: Patrick was a **TAILOR by trade** — the user's family handle for him is "Patrick Sullivan Tailor" (or "Pat Tailor Sullivan"). NOT to be confused with the 1855 John Sullivan + Margaret Shea Sullivan line; an earlier speculative identification linking Patrick-Tailor to that Shea-Sullivan line is REJECTED per user. Patrick-Tailor's father John Sullivan of Reenavaud is most likely a different John Sullivan from Margaret Shea's first husband (same name, common Beara surname, distinct people).
