Daniel Bermingham and Family

ClareKillaloe (Clare)

I am trying to piece together the Bermingham family from Ballykett, Kilrush, Clare. Daniel Bermingham was born ca 1810 and died Aug 1869. He married Mary Considine, daughter of John, Feb 1833. They had at least 5 children: Matthew, John, Mary, Daniel and James. According the 1880 Census of New Jersey, USA, James was an uncle to my great grandfather, James O'Brien. However, I cannot find the link. I know that Daniel Bermingham's son, John, had a daughter Veronica who married James O'Brien's son Thomas in New Jersey. Looking to know if anyone might know the connection between the Bermingham family and my O'Brien family. James O'Brien came from Kilmurry Ibrickane.

Welcome back!

Did James Bermingham have a sister (Mary or another sister) that married the father of your great-grandfather James O'Brien? Do you know if Mary emigrated? If she was married in Ireland, likely the marriage would have occurred at St. Senan's.

Hi Dennis, I think i may possibly have a piece to your puzzle... if you havent found it already. I am trying to piece together the same Berminghams in my tree. Daniel Bermingham i believe had a sister Bridget (1822-1874) who married a James Cussen. They had a daughter Mary Cussen (1849-1905) who married a James O'Brien (1847-1888) he died in Jersey City.... does this fit? Jo

Thanks.  Bridget Bermingham, who married James Cussen were my 2x great grandparents.  Bridget's parents were Thomas Bermingham (1794-1876) and wife Johanna (ca 1795-1883).  They were from Ballyartney, Kilofin, Clare.  James and Bridget's daughter married James O'Brien (my great grandparents) in U.S. 

If my research is correct, Thomas's brother was Daniel Bermingham (ca 1810-1869) who married Mary Considine.  The parents of Daniel and Thomas were Thomas Bermingham and ? Cleary.  The family from the Ballyartney area.  Daniel appears to have moved to Ballykett where he married Mary.

I have six children born to Thomas Bermingham and ? Cleary: Thomas (1794-1876), Matthew (ca 1803-1878), Daniel (ca 1810-1869), Patrick, Catherine and Michael (ca 1836-1871)  There would appear, given the gaps to have been other children.  Without solid documentation it is difficult to confirm this but it was developed using bits of information.  Also, I know there are relationships given DNA matches.  Several point directly at Thomas Bermingham and ? Cleary and others suggest one more generation back.
