I too, am searching for Sullivans in Ardfert. My g-g grandfather, Thomas Sullivan (1843-15 June 1915) and Margaret Grady Sullivan (1850-15 July 1900,) lived in Commons, Ardfert. They were married 22 January 1867 in Glenbeigh. The family emigrated to Canada and settled in Simcoe, Norfolk County, Ontario. Family lore says Margaret worked in the largest hotel in Simcoe and the children worked in a cannery. They eventually came to the US and settled in Buffalo, NY.

My great grandfather Denis Sullivan was born in Fenit around 1875.  His parents were Denis Sullivan and Mary Sheehan.  I can't find any records for their births, but I did find their marriage information online.  (1870 in Ardfert Parish).
