Seamus,
I have just send you an e-mail. It contains two photos and part of an essay written by a Riordan descandant in 1939. It is amazing all the information that is available here. John Riordan and Margaret Sullivan were married in 1827 in Mitchelstown. I don't know John's parents, but Margaret Sullivan is the daughter of Timothy Sullivan and Mary Williams.
