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 Bill, how on earth have you managed to get so much information on the multiple places where they lived? Was it the address mentioned on the childrens' birth certs? My Sullivans were John Sullivan, born c.1863, and his wife Ellen Powell, who married in 1894 and lived in Ballinakilla, Glenbeigh. Ellen Powell was born in 1859 to William Powell and Margaret Mahony, in Ballinakilla. It's possible that this was the William Powell born to John Powell & Margaret Eates in Castleisland near Killarney, but there are difficulties with this, as they were Protestant and he was Catholic. However, he may have converted to marry Margaret Mahony. John Sullivan was born around 1863 to Thade (/Timothy/Tadhg) Shullivan. I suspect this was the John Sullivan born to Timothy Sullivan and Margaret Quirk of nearby Coomsahern, who herself was born in 1842 to Thomas Quirk and Catherine Griffin (*there was bound to be a Griffin in there somewhere*). However, I have no proof of this - Thade Sullivan is the only confirmed parent of John. Steve.
