Searching for Relatives/Ancestors

TipperaryCappawhite (Tipperary)

I am looking for any information on my great grandfather, William O'Brien (possibly Brien). He was born on June 21st or 22nd in County Tipperary. The parish is either Cappawhite or Silvermines. All I know about him is that he came to the United States around 1888. He settled in Mount Vernon, New York, his wife's name was Mary Flood and she was from Abbeyshrule, County Longford. They had 6 children. Mary died in 1928 and William in 1944. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
