I was not able to locate the Michael Heffernan/Mary O'Dea marriage record and I searched on two subscription sites-- Roots Ireland and FindMyPast.ie
I did not locate Michael's baptismal record but did find baptismal records for some siblings in the Doora/Barefield RC parish in Co. Clare. Doora/Barefield baptismal records start in March 1821 so possibly Michael was baptized before 1821 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0780
John Heffernan baptized August 14 1828 at Doora/Barefield father Aeneas Heffernan and mother Mary McCormick-sponsors Patrick Heffernan and Honora McCormick
Patrick Heffernan baptized September 16 1831 at Doora/Barefield same parents one sponsor Nora McCormick
Martin Heffernan baptized October 10 1832 Doora/Barefield same parents witnesses Andrew O'Neil Mary Holeran
Not sure if this is the same family--Thomas Heffernan baptized June 12 1839 Doora Barefield father Andrew Heffernan and mother Mary McCormick witnesses Matthew Clancy and Hanna McCormack.
I did not find any records for the O'Dea family.

I forgot to mention that the Heffernan family lived in Gauras townland in Doora civil parish.
Here is a link to the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Doora civil parish and you can see Aeneas in Gauras.

There was a second Aeneas Heffernan which possibly is a different person or your Aeneas has a second holding.
There are O'Deas in the parish but no Sylvester.

To receive a thorough record, check out https://namesandfacts.com/ the website will find pretty comprehensive info on nearly anyone in the US. A few of the data you will discover are court records, important information, police arrest information, mobile phone search, social networking investigation.
Thank you very much Aquizz.
