William "Sheridan" O'Brien born 1900 in New York city to Patrick and Annie O'Brien. Patrick was described as an Electrical Contractor (possibly Motorman).

Ancestry DNA points to Munster as a likely place for Williams parents.

William emigrated to Australia in the mid to late 1920s working as a fireman onboard ships. He lived in Australia until age 65 when he passed away.

A family living at 201 East 73rd Street in Manhatten ticks a lot of box's but I have been unable to confirm this. Walter O'Brien was listed as a Brother to Patrack New York Census listings.

Any assistance GREATLY appreciated!
