There are several John F. O'Brien's in the 1900 Census including several in California and even more John O'Brien's. Can you be more specific about the year of his birth and birthplaces of his parents that might help to pinpoint him.

Hi Nancy, Let's see if this helps. John F. was born in SF in 1856. Parents names were William and Catherine O'Brien, both native from County Limerick, Ireland. In 1900, John would have been 44 years old. The 1860 (6th District, 2nd June 1860) census says he was 5 years old (b. 1855). The 1880 (6th Ward) census says he was 25 years old (b. 1855). His death certificate in 1937 says date of birth 1856 age 81 years. No exact birth date available.
