Brien/ Cusack Ballymcotter Cloyne Cork

CorkCloyne (Cork)

My g-grandfather Dennis O'Brien was born County Cork Ireland to JohnO'Brien & Mary Cusack c. 1833. His older brother, John, was born 1830.  Both came to Massachusetts in the mid 19th century.  I found a marriage record for John Brien & Mary Cusack 12 Nov. 1826, and a baptism for a sonJohn 1 May 1830 @ Ballymcotter RC Cloyne, Cork on rootsireland.ie, but no record for Dennis.  I posted a lengthy message with all details on the County Cork page on 10 April 2013, but I don't know how to find it, if anyone can, please read it & let me know if you can help me find these ancestors. Thanks

This is quite a longshot, but I've found what I think is the baptism record for my 3x great grandfather, Timothy Brien/ O'Brien, in Cloyne, Co Cork.  His father was John, and one of the witnesses is an Ellen Cusack.  

Same surnames in the same area...

You should now follow up by checking Griffith's valuations and the 1901 census

Thanks,  I find many similar names in the area on Griffiths and 1901 &11 censuses, and have looked at church records posted @ NIL, but my Dennis remains elusive.  Have any of your Timothy"s descendants come to the US?
