Cork / 3 or 4 married Sullivan sisters! Who are their parents?
« on: Monday 23 January 12 20:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone! I am new to the CORK board with some new information I received from a newly found relative. I've been spending most of my time on the Leitrim board following KIERNAN.

Here we go. I'll try not to confuse you. The first listed is my GGGF/M.
Mary J Sullivan ((b:1844-46) m: Daniel Hanley
Johannah Sullivan (b:1857) m: Patrick Donoghue (b:1854)
The other two sisters can't be confirmed, but this is what Mary Sullivan Hanley obit said in the Oct. 1924 San Francisco Chronicle: survived by her sister Ellen Mullen and the late Mrs John Dwyer (I have no information on these two).
I know that Johannah Sullivan Donoghue remained  and died in CORK . 1901 Census link below.

I can't confirm the link below of a Mary Sullivan / Daniel Hanley marriage because we can't confirm the fathers name with the sisters

Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have. Any info on the Hanley's would also be appreciated.

Leitrim / Edward Kiernan from Drummucker, Co Leitrim
« on: Wednesday 20 October 10 18:33 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me connect the dots in finding information on my GGGGF Edward Kiernan from Drummucker. The marriage of his son John (below) list Edward as the father - no information on the mother. The Griffith's and 1901 census databases list two Kiernan families from Drummucker - Edward (Edmond) and John. The Edward listed could be the Edward I am looking for or it could be John's brother. The 1901 census list their ages as only 15 years apart so I'm not sure.

Here is what I know:

John Kiernan (my GGGF) married Eliza Charles on November 29th 1866 at the Roman Catholic Church in Drumeela. He was a farmer who lived in Drummucker. His fathers name was Edward and he too was a farmer. Eliza was a spinster was lived in Corohople (now Cloonecoose). Her fathers name was Thomas who was a farmer. The witnesses at the marriage were Thomas Brady and Mary Charles. They were both of full age (?) at the time of the wedding.

John and Eliza had 6 children that I know of (there may be more):

1.) Mary Ann Kiernan – born on Aug 30 1867
2.) Edward Kiernan my GGF born on Apr 23 1869
3.) John Kiernan born on June 26 1871
4.) Eliza Kiernan born on Mar 15 1873.
5.) Hugh Kiernan born on Apr 27 1875.
6.) Margaret Kiernan born on July 31 1878.

Other information that I found is the 1823 or 1833 Carrigallen Church records that had these Kiernan's from the townland of Drummucker who belonged to the parish

Bryan - age 45
Margaret - 42 - wife
Margaret - 23 - dau
Edward - 22 - son
Bryan - 20 - son
John - 18 - son
Thomas - 16 - son
Mary - 11 - dau
Hugh - 8 - son

Can anyone help in finding any information on Edward (marriage, spouse, children)? I am stuck with the Irish families being so big back then and the families using the same names over and over again.

Thanks in advance!
Jeff
