Surnames: Sullivan - Kerry to Kilkenny Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WWC.2ACI/1139.2043.2513.2515.1 Message Board Post: I believe you're right about the Sullivan's not being from Kilkenny, in general. However there was a Donncha 0'Suilleabhain who moved to Waterford with his wife and children in 1789, then on to Kilkenny where the family remained. They were originally from Killarney, in County Kerry. They do refer to a Bhuchilla who d. Callan, Kilkenny in Aug. 1827. I think that is Celia. She might have been the mother of Donncha's children. I am not sure of all of the chuldren's names, but they include Denis, Humphrey, John, Michael and Patrick, all with records in the 1820's. .
