O'Briens from the 1851 census in Aghnameadle

From 1801 to 1922, there were 160 John O'Briens baptized in Tipp who were sons of Patrick O'Briens.  So more info would be needed to identify your John's family.

About what year was he born?

Who was his wife? his children? his siblings?

Where did he emigrate to?

What was his occupation?

Any info you can supply would be helpful.

Thank you, Patricia for your suggestions.

As I mentioned, John Thomas O’Brien was born March 25, 1842 to Patrick and unknown O’Brien.  I am aware of no siblings though some family trees have mentioned a sister Ann born in 1937 and a sister Johanna on August 15, 1936.  No proof or source is given for either of the sisters in those family trees.

His father Patrick was a farmer in Niagara County, New York state after they immigrated in 1854, so I assume Patrick was a farmer in Ireland as well. John was a farmer all his life in America.  I have found no immigration records.  The son, John, the one I am researching, travelled to Wisconsin, likely during the Civil War, and in Fox Lake Wisconsin on November 9, 1870, he married Julia Evelyn Cruden, she being born there, her parents coming from Ireland.

John O’BRIEN is also my  2nd great grandfather Julia my great grandmother in fox lake , his father Patrick born march 17 1807. I have county cork married Anna (Ann ( Rigan or Russell ) he died march9th 1887 in Barker New York, I ha grave stone pictures , Also pictures of John n Julia O’Brien Family I have this information on Patrick I’m not sure if it helps you.or if you already have it.

Thank you, KO, for the information you have given me.  I have seen this information on the internet in different family trees, but not with any sources so I've never been sure if it was correct.  Amelia Agnes O'Brien is my grandma.  I have proof that John Thomas and Julia lived with John's Father, Patrick in Niagara, New York.  At that time Patrick was married to Ann Rigan which would lead me to think she is John's mother, yet when Julia gave the information for John's death record she says Patrick was his father but his mother is marked as unknown.  You would think if she lived with the woman for four years or so, she would have remembered Ann was her name -- unless John Thomas was the son of an earlier marriage.  I've been sort of reluctant to just jump on the Patrick O'Brien and Ann Rigan boat without some proof.

If we can carry this further please write to me ay moimid@telus.net

Thanks for any help or proof or sources you can give
