Looking for information on family of Joannis Sullivan and his wife Margaret Fizgerald.
They had 9 children that I have been able to find: Timothy Apr 9, 1857, Laurentis Apr 24 1860, Ellena Mary Mar 7, 1862, Maria Sullivan Dec 13, 1863, Bridga Sep 13, 1865, Joannis Sep 9, 1867, Joanna Dec 8 1870, Thomas Feb 26, 1874, and Julia Aug 11, 1876.
The church records state that the family lived in Banna. However, I am unable to connet the siblings or parents of Joannis or Margaret. Some of the sponsors for the children are Maurice Fitzgeral, Mary Fitzgerald, Patrick Fitzgerald, Ellen Fitzgerald, James Fitzgerald, John Fitzgerald, and Mary Sullivan. I don't know if these Sponsors are siblings but I am hoping someone in Ireland is able to fill in the missing parents and sibling of Joannis and Margaret.
All the records I have came from St Brendans Church Records and web site Irish Geneology. I have not been able to get back further then 1857.
Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.

Arleen:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Unfortunately, there is a gap in the Ardfert parish records from 1846-1859 (although I see you located and 1857 record). There are baptismal and marriage records from 1835-1846 and some earlier baptismal records in 1819 and 1824. There are some marriage records in 1825-1826 See this link https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0648 Likely John Sullivan and Margaret Fitzgerald were baptized prior to 1835 and records will not be available.
The 1901 censu had two Sullivan households, one in Banna South and the other in Banna East.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Roger, thank you so much for your reply. I have been researching https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0648 for a while and see many Sullivan's that lived in Banna but I have not been able to find the source that would link a mom and dad yet. The records are so difficult to read, as you as probably aware of. However, I will keep plugging along and hope some record will give me the break through that I need. Again, thanks for your response and the additional links that I will check.
