    1. [BARNETT] Mary Ellen BARNET(T) Co Cork - 1840ish to 1900ish
    2. Barbara P Jameson
    3. Looking for a family for a Mary Ellen BARNET(T) who was probably born in County Cork around 1840. She married Daniel O'BRIEN around 1860 and they are believed to have lived in the RossCarberry area of County Cork. Known children were Honora b 1861, Margaret b 1864, Daniel Jr b 1868 and Ellen (Nellie) b about 1870. These children all lived in Boston or Providence, It is believed there was another sister who lived in New York City. If Irish naming patterns were used there were at least several other children. Honora came to the US in 1883 and married Thomas JAMESON from Sunderland, England in 1886. Margaret, Daniel and Ellen also came to the US in the 1880s. Margaret and Daniel Jr never married. Ellen was married for a short time to someone by the name of SHERIDAN. There was another sister married to a man named BROWN, as a cousin named Brenda BROWN showed up in Boston about 1915. She was born in Scotland. Her mother was born in Ireland so her mother wasn't Thomas JAMESON's only sister (She was born in the Shetland Islands.) Mary Ellen probably died about 1895 because Daniel Sr came to live in the Boston area with the rest of the group about 1897. Nothing else is known about Mary Ellen. No parents names or any dates. Daniel O'BRIEN's parents were John O'BRIEN and Margaret DONOVAN. Thanks to anyone who thinks they may have information about this family.
