They were from Belfast and had 2 sons at the time--James Franklin and John. After arriving in America, they had 4 or 5 other children. They settled in Ohio.

Birth registration only started on 1.1.1864 so if a child was born in 1863 there won’t be a birth certificate. There is a baptism for a James Breen in 1863 on the rootsireland site (subscription). A number of trees on Ancestry have his date of birth as November 1864 but that can’t be correct as it’s only 5 months before William’s birth in March 1865.
