Hi Elwyn
I live in NSW, Aust so apologise for delay in replying to your latest comment. Have attached a copy of the Mem Deed in question.
To fill you in on my Sullivan research which will put my interest in this Mem Deed into perspective:
1769 - Richard Orpen leases land to Daniel & Desmatt Downy (aka Sullivan) at Lower Shandrum, Kilgarvan. Note Orpen is a major land holder based at Ardtully, Kilgarvan.
1789 - John Sullivan of London leases land at Courenowkil, Kilgarvan to Orpen.
1798 - Probated Will of John Sullivan of London mentions brothers Timothy, Daniel & Denis Sullivan as well as sisters Catherine Ferris, Eleanor Atkins & Ann Sullivan.
1800 - the 1769 Deed registered to Daniel & Morto Sullivan of Coomhola, Bantry (a valley 6 kms west of Bantry in par. Kilmocomoge). Timothy Sullivan & Martin Buckley of Ardtully & John Murphy of Kilpadder (also Kilgarvan) are underwriters for deed.
1826 - Patrick Thady Sullivan lease holder at Ardtully. No Sullivans at Shandrum. However there is a John & Daniel Connor (is this a Sullivan nickname??)
1830 - Jeremiah Sullivan bpt to Daniel Sullivan & Catherine Lynch at Regurane which was a subtownland of Ardtully. Also known as Ummeireigurane. Additional children born Adrtully Murtagh (Morto)1833 & Mary 1836. Jeremiah is my line of interest.
DNA evidence also confirms links to both Ardtully & Cousane, par. Kilmocomoge, Bantry.
So .. I am trying to establish if there is a definite connection between the Sullivans above, particularly Timothy (1800) to Daniel & Morto (1800), as this would possibly link them to the John Sullivan in London. I also feel strongly that the Daniel & Morto Sullivan from Coomhola would explain the DNA link to Cousane.
Elwyn, I would also be very interested in the Land Indexes for the Sullivan at Shandrum & Ardtully. Are they freely available in the public domain?
Many thanks for your help
Chris
