Genealogical Query - Jeremiah Sullivan and Hanora Harrington

Hello All,

I am looking for the birthplace (townland) of a Jeremiah Sullivan (born abt 1844) married to a Hanora Harrington (born abt 1850). I do not have a specific birth date or branch name for either person, but Kenmare Parish, Kerry is listed as where they were from on the 1911 Wales Census:

Jeremiah and Hanora were married in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales in 1867.  Both were Roman Catholic and the witnesses to the marriage are John Harrington and Margret Welsh.  Jeremiah’s father is listed as John Sullivan, while Hanora’s father is listed as Denis Harrington. On the marriage certificate Jeremiah’s age is listed as 23 years and Hanora’s age is listed as 17 years. According to Wales census data from 1881 – 1911, they are both listed as having come from county Kerry in Ireland.  On the 1911 census Kenmare is also listed. I have no death date for either person, but have found documentation that Hanora was still living in Glamorgan County, Wales in April 1921 and can only presume that both Hanora and Jeremiah died in Wales.

Hanora and Jeremiah had several children all born in Glamorgan County, Wales: 

- John Martin Sullivan - (Born 1 Jan 1868) came to USA from Wales in 1887. From 1900 – 1940 John was living in Jerome, Arizona.  He first worked in the mines, but in later years owned the Sullivan Hotel in Jerome.  John died on 11 Apr 1956 in Prescott, Arizona

- Ellen Sullivan – (Born Dec 1870) listed on both the 1871 and 1881 Wales Census.  Sometime between 1881 and 1891 she immigrates to the USA and marries a James Murphy and settles in Syracuse, New York.

- Ann Sullivan – (Born abt 1874) listed on both the 1881 and 1891 Wales Census.  Sometime after 1891 she marries a Mr. Raney and immigrates to Sydney, Australia.

- Bridget Sullivan - (Born Dec 1876) listed on both the 1881 and 1891 Wales Census, but trail runs cold after 1891.

- James M. Sullivan - (Born abt 1880) listed on both the 1881 and 1891 census. Sometime between 1891 and 1900 he immigrates to the USA from Wales and is found living in Jerome, AZ with his brother John, working in the copper mines and then helping John run his hotel. James died on 12 Sept 1969 in Prescott, Arizona

- Mary Ann Sullivan - (Born Dec 1883) listed on both the 1891 and 1901 Wales Census. Sometime around 1908 she marries a William Duggan in Glamorgan, Wales. In about 1922 her family immigrates to the USA and lives first in Jerome, Arizona, followed by Bisbee, Arizona and finally ends up in San Jose, California, where she dies on 23 July 1938.

- Timothy Patrick Sullivan – (Born June 1884) listed on both the 1891 and 1901 census. Sometime between 1901 and 1920 he immigrates to the USA from Wales and is found living in Jerome, Arizona working in the copper mines and helping his brothers run the Sullivan Hotel. Timothy dies on 8 Nov 1865.

- Hanora Veronica Sullivan – (Born Apr 1887) listed on both the 1891 and 1901 Wales Census.  In 1907 Hanora marries Timothy John Foley of Fibough, Keel, Kerry, Ireland.  They are married in Wales and are still living in Llanwonno, Glamorgan in 1911, living next door to Hanora’s parents. In 1911 Hanora and Timothy immigrate to the US and end up in Bisbee, Arizona. Timothy works in the copper mines.  They have 5 children (Julia, John, Florence, Hanora and Timothy). After Timothy’s death in 1936, the family moves to Butte, Montana where it is rumored that other relatives of Hanora live.  After sometime in Butte, Hanora moves back to Arizona and dies on 9 Jan 1950 in Lowell, Arizona. Her children remain in Butte, and while Julia and John settle in the area, Hanora and Timothy Jr. move to California, while the trail of Florence runs cold after 1930.

Other bits of information that I found along the way:

Hanora Harrington has a brother named Cornelius E. Harrington who was born about 1845. His father is also Denis Harrington. He immigrates to the USA sometime around 1865 and settles in Syracuse, New York.  He marries a Hannah Sullivan (born abt 1847 - dies before 1892), and they have 5 sons:

Dennis D. Harrington (1872-1915)

Timothy J. Harrington (1874-1920)

Cornelius Harrington Jr. (1879-1937)

Edward M. Harrington (1881-1913)

John J Harrington (1881-1915)

Cornelius Sr. dies on 3 Dec, 1928.

I realize this is a lot to digest (and probably horribly confusing), but I’m desperate and I would love to find the Townlands for Jeremiah Sullivan and Hanora Harrington, if possible. ANY small bit of information is much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
