Looking for my 3G grandfather Michael O'Brien and his wife Julia Coffee's marriage.There is one obscure mention of their son Patrick's birth in Mallow, Cork, Ireland around 1842.  Michael & Julia are found in Burlington VT in the 1850 census and then settled in Hinesburg VT until their deaths in 1892. I'm trying to find out how they came to VT from Ireland.

I'm looking for information on a James O'Brien my gg-grandfather..supposedly born in Cork on 15 August 1851....became a "Captain's Servant" on a Royal Navy ship around 1863...mother's maiden name was McDonald, father's Baptismal name was John.  James married Elizabeth Haws about 1872 in Outagamie Co., Wi.USA. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated...thanks.

Have only gotten back to my great grandfather John Nicholas O'Brien who came to the US in the 1800s - married Annie Louise Diamond

We are looking for information on Bartholomew O'Brien who was born (we believe) in 1862. He married Catherine Browne (date unknown) and had a son, Michael, in 1883 or 1884. They moved to Cappoquin, County Waterford circa 1884/5 and had six more children, of whom we have a fair bit of information. Unfortunately my Great Grandfather was Michael, and although family recollections are that he and his parents were originally from Cork, we have not yet found firm evidence of that. Anybody with a Bartholomew O'Brien in their family trees may be of help to us!

I have gone back to my 5th or 6th GF Lawrence O'Bryan, born in County Cork, Ireland; came to US through Maryland; settled in Richmond County, NC by 1750s.

Any relation?

Linda, You don't say where in Ireland ... which area of Cork? your O'Briens are from. My 2x great-grandfather Daniel had a brother called John born about 1829 at Ballygrace, Churchtown, Co Cork... My Daniel emigrated to London but I don't know what happened to his siblings. Maybe they went to the USA. They don't seem to have stayed in Ireland.

Hello, My name is Linda and I have been researching the O'Brien Family name for 19 years. I have gone back to my 5th great grandfather John O'Brien. I have pretty well got 9 of my 10 lines up to date. I am trying to find all the descendants of Tadgh Mor ( Big Timothy) He had 10 children that I know of. I have most of the lines current 2009 but still need alot of work done on the descendants living in Ireland. We have been 8 generations in Goulones. I hope to hear from someone who can work with me, trade information and enlarge our trees.

I doesn't sound like there is a connection there ... it's such a common name! Daniel went to London in the 1860s and most of his descendants are still in the UK. Later generations moved to Australia, New Zealand, Canada. I'm curious to know what happened to Daniel's siblings as the family are no longer in Ballygrace

Elissa - my O'Briens are from the Lisheen area, southwest of Skibbereen in southwest Co Cork. Don't know of anyone who went to Australia. Two of the O'Brien daughters went to New Zealand in the 1880s.
