Title: Sullivans from Kenmare
Post by: Amy M on Wednesday 26 April 06 05:31 BST (UK)

I'm descended from a Richard Sullivan & Margaret Dineen who I believe married in the 1840s in Kenmare.

I know of two sons who immigrated to the US and settled in Massachusetts:

• Dennis R[ichard?], b. 1850, immigrated to New York 1867, was married twice in Boston, 1st to Catherine Dineen, then to Mary Quinn, settled in Quincy, Mass.
• Michael Joseph, b. 1853, married Anna Husband(s) (daughter of Charles Husband(s) & Mary Coffey) probably in Kenmare abt. 1872, immigrated to Boston with his wife & children in 1883, they also settled in Quincy, Mass.

Anyone familiar with this family?

Updating my previous information. . .

Richard Sullivan & Margaret Dineen married 14 Nov 1845 in Kenmare.

Richard was from Dromneavane, & Margaret was from Killowen.

I have found baptisms in Kenmare for 3 children:

• Richard, bapt. 5 Jan 1845
• Dennis, bapt. 8 Sep 1848
• Michael, bapt. 15 Aug 1853

Son Michael married Anna Husband(s) in Sneem on 20 Jun 1872.  I have 6 of their children born in Kenmare, & another 4 born in the U.S.

For son Dennis, I have 2 children born in the U.S. (both died young).

I don't know what happened to son Richard.

Margaret (Dineen) Sullivan was the daughter of John Dineen & Mary Sullivan.  She died 5 Nov 1890 in Quincy, Massachusetts.  She was a widow, & believed to be about 80 yrs. old at the time.

Hi! I am descended from those Sullivans. Richard and Margaret had a son Michael, and with Anna they had a son Dennis and so on...

I'm descended from Michael & Anna's daughter Louise, who married Edward Keefe in Boston.

Also, should add to my previous information, that I had also found a daughter for Richard & Margaret, Helen, baptized 27 Sep 1846 in Kenmare.
