Hi Linda Amazing that we have so many names in common and maybe no connections!...disappointing I agree. You did not say if the PYE names below are related. My great aunt Catherine (b 1878 in Liverpool) married William "Billie" Pye (? DOB and probobaly also in Liverpool)...they had children John, Katherine, Elisabeth and Ada. But it seems unlikely that Billie is the William on your list. My O'Briens also came from Ireland...unlikely we have a connection though. Mine are John O'Brien (b 1821 in Ireland) who married Elizabeth ? (b c1821). They had Ann in 1871 (my ggrandmother) then Charles, Elisabeth, Ellen, James, John. Not sure if they had an older child Margaret. Ring any bells? Many thanks, Marilyn >>> [email protected] 20/10/2004 8:52:32 a.m. >>> Hi Marilyn Sorry but I don't think there is a connection here despite the names. I have been looking through the files and can find nothing. I am not sure of your time frame but there were many male PYES born in the 1870s and80s Thomas 1874 Joseph 1876 John 1885 Ernest -1889 William 1896 Richard - 1881 - grandfather Unfortunately I don't know as yet who the spouses were of the rest of them ( this winter's project!) No O'BRIEN connection - mine came from Ireland to Liverpool. Margaret O'BRIEN b 1847 married Edward MORAN Also no FOSTER connection either. How disappointing!

Yes isn't it a shame we are not connected. William was born in 1896 - too young for your Aunt catherine. Margaret O'Brien/ Brien was born in Liverpool c. 1847 but I don't know her parents names as yet. If I find anything I will be in touch.
