Hi Nettie,
I came across your Glencuttane reference for the John Spillane Hanora Sullivan marriage. I was wondering had you considered that Hanora might be the one from Glencuttane. The marriage records back then usually only had one address down and who's to say it wasn't the brides.
The Spillanes are recorded in a number of houses in Ballyvirrane in the 1828 tithes. The same can also be said of the Sullivans in Glencuttane. The nearest Spillanes to Glencuttane are in the neighbouring townland of Shannera.
If looking for Sullivans in Glencuttane in Killorglin church records, Glencuttane was recorded as Glins and usually had a N S or W before it to say in which direction of the Glen the event occured. The church took in many of Glencuttane's neighbouring townlands too when they used this Glins address. This makes trying to sort out the records a lot harder.
The church also recorded family nicknames as surnames in some cases. So for example the Sullivans could be recorded as Crone, Brack, Cuck etc.. Hope this helps you in some way.

What townland was your Crone in?

Most of the Crones, that I know of, are within a couple of miles of each other.

Hi,
In the Killorglin area Crone is one of the names used to differentiate the many Sullivan families. I have Crone ancestors who show up in the parish registers as Crone, yet the same people show up in the Civil records as Sullivan. I hope this helps you.
