This is primarily a reply to William Romanski, but I wanted it on the list as well. Kilorglin: Shea, Quirk, Sullivan, Coffey, Connor I believe my gr gr grandfather, James Shea (born about 1840), was from Kilorglin. He had a brother, Bartholomew and their father was also Bartholomew. I suspect there were other siblings but can't confirm it. A Patrick Sullivan, about whom I know nothing, was a sponsor of my gr grandmother at her birth. Both brothers went to Glamorgan, Wales about 1850 where my gr grandmother was born. James Shea married Catherine O'Neil, but after she died (1870) he seems to have "abandoned" my gr grandmother to her maternal uncles, and remarried a Mary Quirk (daughter of Daniel and Bridget Quirk). James' brother, Bartholomew, married an Ellen Moran who had several siblings, one of whom married a Daniel O'Connor, another married a Timothy Coffee and a third married a John Grady. All of those people immigrated to Glamorgan, Wales, and nearly all ultimately immigrated to New Haven, CT. I have not been able to be sure that I have these people in Kilglorin, but so many of the same names seem to be there that this seems to be the best guess. (There are a couple of censuses which state Kerry; one says that James and Bartholomew were from Kilmare and Kildare) I apologize that this is vague and confusing, but all these people are related, and I don't know how to say it easily. I would be happy to try again if any of these sound familiar, William, especially. Sue

I think a lot of us have Kerry Sullivans in our ancestry. Mine go back to a DANIEL JOHN SULLIVAN born c1844, whose father was JOHN SULLIVAN & mother was ELLEN O'CONNELL. DANIEL SULLIVAN married MARY KEEFFE one 3rd May 1874 in NEW QUARTER, RATHMORE, Co. KERRY - which is on the Cork/Kerry border, very close to Millstreet, Co. Cork. Is anyone researching this line? Thanks, Hilda

I have given up trying to find my Maurice O'Connor from Ballyfinnane so thought I would move on to others Maurice had a sister Catherine Connor who also went to New Zealand There she married James Richard Talbot also of Co Kerry Found them in 1890s but then I thought Catherine [Kate] had died becouse I did not find them again But just recently I find they left NZ and went to a place called Dromana in Victoria Australia At first I thought that sounded so Irish they must have returned there So I now find that they joined his family the Talbots and the Blennerhassett's both familys had settled in VIctoria James RIchard Talbot was returning to New Zealand to sell the land he owned in NZ when ths ship Wairapa hit a reef and sunk James Richard drowned Catherine remained with his family and never marrried again Does any one know from where in Kerry these family's were from Trish in the best winter of all time so lovely in the sun today

My great grandfather married a Honora Sullivan, her father is listed as Patrick Sullivan Ardkearagh. Ardkearagh is just outside Waterville near Loher, my great grandfather's brother Michael married a Honora Sullivan She was born in Canburrin, just outside Cahirciveen. She died in Pittsburgh 1892.

Thanks for that. I'm actually still in Ireland, in Dublin - my grandmother was a Sullivan born and bred in Ballinakilla, so to be honest, I'm not hugely interested in emigrés. I might get around to it, but at the moment my main interest is in direct ancestors, and none of these emigrated. Obviously, if the information I have is of any use to anyone else, they're welcome to it. It's an interesting snippet to bear in mind for the future though. thanks, Steve.

So all this Sullivan talk has me throwing my brick wall out there again in hopes someone might be tied in or have come across relevant research. My GGF was John Sullivan from Minard West. Born 1843 to Jeremiah (Darby) Sullivan and Catherine Sullivan. He emigrated to Holyoke Mass. sometime before 1866 when he married Mary Doolin (Dooling) also from Minard. I was able to track John's and Mary's births on the irishgenealogy.ie site. My wall is for both Jeremiah and Catherine. I have found what I believe to be their marriage in Feb of 1842. It is between Darby Sullivan of Lispole and Catherine Sullivan. That is the only info in the on line record. I can not get beyond that. I'm wondering several things. Would they have come from somewhere else in Kerry or Cork? What is the best way to proceed? Should I look at records in the parish or in the NLI? (I am itching for an excuse to travel to Ireland again ????!) Would either Darby or Catherine have emigrated with their son Jo! hn? I have tried searching ship manifests for John Sullivan, but the name is as common as fleas. The other conundrum is whether Jeremiah was married once or perhaps was widowed and remarried. I have Darby and Catherine producing four sons. John 1843 (my GGF), Cornelius 1844, Michael 1847, and James 1851. In 1852 Darby marries Johanna Bowler (Bouler). They then produce Patrick 1855, Mary 1857, Martin 1859, Honora 1860, James 1862, Catherine 1864, Ellen 1867, Johanna 1868, and Thomas 1872. This is all in the same townland. Same family? Two different families? How do I tell? Thanks for any input! Bernice In New Hampshire USA on a perfectly gorgeous summer day. Sent from my iPad

Hello, My families in Ballinakilla are mostly Griffins and Doonas, but I have collected information about other families in that townland (as well as B Lower, B Upper, Coolroe Upper and Coolroe Lower). My Sullivans, though, have early origins in Dromod parish. They were called by the nickname Feely/Feeley/File/na Feila/etc, to distinguish them from other branches of the Sullivans in the area. (There are many, including: Crone, Dillagh, Arcugh, Brack, Quart, etc.) Timothy Sullivan was born in Dromod in the late 1700s. He married Mary Coffey of Boheshill, Knockane, around 1810. They lived at Drombrane, Glencar, Glenbeigh in the 1820s and 1830s then Bunglasha, Glenbeigh, then Corrawoolia, Lickeen, Glenbeigh in the 1840s and 1850s. They are buried in Glencar at the Shronahiree Cemetery. They had 4 children: Daniel, Patrick, Margaret and Michael. Patrick married Johanna Shea and lived at Drombrane and later Lickeen. Margaret married Patrick Connor and lived at Bunglasha, Drombrane, Lickeen and later Keel Parish on the Dingle Peninsula. Michael married Johanna Quirk and lived at Bunglasha, Lickeen and later Cosha South. Daniel married Mary Shea and lived at Bunglasha, Lickeen, and lastly at Reenlagane. Daniel and Mary's son Michael was the one who lived at Ballynakilly Upper. He married Mary Murphy and later Margaret Sweeney. I'd very much like to hear from other relatives.

Hi Liz, I'm relatively new to this group, but I have Sullivans from Kerry too. Mine are from Ballinakilla, near Glenbeigh. I can give you more details if this matches yours. This family is also related to the Powells of the same location - they seem to be the same ones as here<http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=wdromanski&id=I21816>, but if your Sullivans don't match these ones already, then they most likely won't match mine, as mine appear to be these ones. I haven't contacted William Romanski about these yet to confirm a match. regards, Steve.

Hey Bill, Tim, Daniel, and Michael Sullivan/O"Sullivan are names that run in my family tree. They married Dennehy in Dromod. Settled in Garrannafulla (and variants) and Kileetierna townlands. Some are still there close in to Waterville. I have probably contacted you before about this. Do you show any Sullivan marriages with a Dennehy? See my links in the e sig.

Hi Trish, You may have seen it before, but I will mention again...Mike Talbot ,who lives in England, has a fabulous tree on his Talbots on Tribalpages. He has currently 282 Talbots and 42 Blennerhassetts listed. The tree is at http://d3278.tribalpages.com/  and  if you e-mail me at lhtalbot@hotmail.com he has given me permission to give you the password.  Should be a good source for the Ireland connections.   Beautiful summer weather here in Wisconsin, pleasant 80ish F  today.

There were many Irish from county Kerry who immigrated to the Nashua, New Hampshire area to work in the mills and foundrys. Quite a few of them from the Ballynakilla part of Glenbehy. .Sullivan was as common as the surname Smith. Perhaps you will find a connection to your Sullivans among the Nashua Irish. Anne

HI Hilda, I am also researching the O'CONNELL family. My Grt Grandmother was Honora MOYNIHAN, formerly O"CONNELL b. about 1832. I think her father was Maurice OCONNELL. Any connections to your family?

Trish, try Tralee. We have families of both names here. The Blennerhassetts are Church of Ireland.  Also,Blennerville, which is a village at the mouth of the canal and on the outskirts is of Tralee, was named for the Blennerhassetts. Edel Codd Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android
