Narrative

Ann is not in the PEI Baptismal Index. She was probably born around 1800 (plus or minus 5 years). Her eldest known son was David, who was born in 1824, and her youngest daughter Priscilla was born about 1842. Both her son David and daughter Damaris said their mother was born on the Island, on the 1891 census.

Some sources say she was from the family of Malcolm Ramsay and Mary Murphy.

Ann married Thomas Sullivan, possibly in the early 1820s. Records for early PEI marriages are scarce, with a gap between the License Cash Book transcribed by Elizabeth Glen, and the records for the Presbyterian Church and the Church of England in the parish, which started in the early 1820s. There is a similar gap until the next set of marriage licenses.

Thomas' obit said he emigrated from Ireland in 1818, and their first recorded baptism was for David, in 1824, so they could have been married by 1820.

Child's Full Name David Sulivan
Baptismal Date 30 October 1824
Officiating Clergy McGregor
Father's Name Thos Sulivan
Mother's Name Ann Ramsay
Church Name Richmond Parish Presbyterian

Thomas was not in the 1841 census of PEI, which did not cover all Lots. In 1861, there were no married people in the household of Thomas Sullivan and no older woman, therefore it is assumed that Ann died before 1861.

No gravestone, no death notice in the Islander, 1842-1861.

It is assumed that all Prince County Ramsays are related, but finding out how can be difficult!
