Jeremiah OBrien & Nora Quinlan of Ballylanders.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Have you tried Familysearch or rootsireland to see if you can locate any record about the above siblings, particulay marriage records for the girls and then any of their children who remained in Ireland? In the meantime I hope a Ballylanders relative will be in touch. There are a couple of O'Brien entries on the Griffith's Valuation in the mid-19th century in Ballylanders. If you could identify them from the Griffith's there is a way to trace them through later Valuation record up to the 1980s though these later records are not online so you will need to either get to Dublin or hire a researcher.

The Irish online phone book shows no residential entries for an O'Brien in Ballylanders but there is one business listing. You could write to them as a long shot on the info in the link above.

Best wishes
