Individual Details

Dan met his wife, Mary Doody from Galbally, Co. Limerick through one of her brothers. Sometime in the 1870s, this brother (it is not known if it was James, John, Mike or Richard) - arrived in the Glynn area from Galbally looking for a job. He had failed a secondary school exam, and because of of trouble at home as a result, he had left Galbally to go looking for work. Dan's father, Séamus, took him in. In his free time, Mary's brother used to join Dan and his brother, Jim, in their athletic pursuits. One day, the boys were pole-vaulting and Mary's brother broke his arm; his mother was contacted and so she made the journey - by carriage - from Galbally to Glynn. When her son told her of the generosity of the Sullivans, she invited them to Galbally for a visit. When Dan went to Galbally, he met Mary, and they later married. Just over a year after the marriage, Mary's sister Julia married Dan's brother Jim.

According to the 1901 census, Dan's property in Glynn had a piggery, cow-house and stable. The roof of the house was made of "thatch, wood or other perishable material".
