Jeremiah O'Sullivan (1857-1916) (part 2)

Below is a table of the 16 Jeremiah Sullivans born in Bantry between January 1857 and November 1864.  There are three facts I am sure of regarding our Jeremiah. 

• His father's name was Jeremiah,
• his mother's maiden name was Dealy or Daly and
• he was born in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland. 

In the various sources I checked for his date of birth, the month of November is mentioned twice.  It is the month he gives as his birth month on his naturalization application. 
Jeremiah gives his own birth date as November 2, 1859. While there may have been a reason to change the year, people often keep the date the same. If he was born on November 2, 1857, a baptismal date of a week later makes sense.

If you look at the chart below, there are 3 childen with a father named Jeremiah Sullivan. There are 4 children born in November. There is only one child whose mother has the last name of Dealy/Daly.

Jeremiah Sullivan, baptised November 8, 1857 meets all 3 criteria.
