Denise,have you tried tracking Michael and Maria in the US census records? Also,have you gotten copies of their death certs as they probably died in Indiana.The death certs may have vital clues as to where they may be from.The only marriage I came across was the following:
Marriage:
parish:Ballyferriter
county:Kerry
groom:Michael McDonnell
bride:Mary Sullivan
date of marriage:23 Feb 1851
priest:Rev William Ahern
witness:Patrick Malone
as there are so many Sullivans and O'Donnells/McDonnells its very hard to say this is for the people you seek.As Sullivan is very numerous in co Kerry and O'Donnell in co Donegal,it is possible they met and married in the US.I would check the censuses and try to locate the death certs first and then go from there.If I can help,let me know,Kim
