Hi Sharon, Thanks for your reply. I don't know much about the O'BRIENs. Agnes was born in 1872 at Yambuk, the daughter of John O'BRIEN and Bridget MADDIGAN. I found five brothers and five sisters in the BDMs so perhaps your John O'BRIEN is a descendant of one of the brothers. Agnes and James Lane TAYLOR had one child, a daughter Bessie born in Kalgoorlie WA - she married Harry MULDOON and they lived in Tocumwal NSW.
