I am trying to locate my 3x great grandfather's birth records and his parents and grandparents details.

Terence O'Brien born 1815 (according to the immigration records) Bruff, Limerick, Ireland. He married Johanna Dooley 18 Feb 1836 at Bruff, Grange and Gilnogra, Limerick.

He and his wife and two children; Mary and Daniel emigrated to Australia in 1841. The immigration records also state that Terence parents were Daniel O'Brien and Catherine Carroll and were both deceased at this date.  Daniel and Catherine had four children that the writer has found, Murtagh O'Brien born 1811, died 1882 Ireland, Daniel O'Brien born abt 1812, and the my ancestor Terence (above), Ellen O'Brien ( nothing known about Ellen).

Terence seems to be the only family member to came to Australia.

Any help would be appreciated.  I have connections with DNA matches and not sure how these O'Briens all match up.
