Ring-Sullivan

Hello! I am trying to locate information on the Ring-Sullivans in Cork Ireland. In particular, Hannah Jane Ring, born about 1797 in Cork Ireland; died 1862 in Boston Massachusetts USA.  She married Timothy Sullivan born about 1792 in Ireland and they had 4 children, Daniel Anne, Margaret and Denis. All moving to USA.  Her tombstone in Boston reads:  Birth in Ballygiblin Ireland. Her death record in Boston states Father was Thomas Ring and her mother was Anne. Also, while I have baptismal records for the children, I have no marriage record for Timothy Sullivan and Hannah Jane Ring. The family were carpenters by trade. Thank you for any information you might provide.

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and found baptismal records for four children of  Timothy Sullivan and Joan/Jane Ring. The four records were in the Ballyclough RC parish: Anne 1823 Daniel 1828 Mary 1831 Denis 1839. The only discrepancy was Mary vs. Margaret in your list. Here is the link to the parish register entry which shows Mary  https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632297#page/98/mode/1up

The Ballygiblin reference on the headstone is likely to a townland called Ballygiblin in Castlemagner civil parish. The RC parish of Castlemagner has records starting in 1832 so likely the marriage occurred in Castlemagner RC parish before 1832 and therefore the record would not be avalable.  The RC parish of Castlemagner is just to the south of Ballyclough RC parish.
