Dear List! Have just this second subscribed - I'm desperately seeking any information, no matter how small, on how to progress my research into my husband's O'Brien family. The above JOHN O'BRIEN relocated to CARDIFF, WALES sometime at the end of the 1850's start of the 1860s. His first son was born in 1863. He married in Cardiff and his father's name was given as DANIEL O'BRIEN, JOURNEYMAN DYER. Although I have no concrete evidence (all census put his birth place just as Ireland) all relatives are convinced that the family hailed from County Cork. Does anyone know of the next step I could take to perhaps find a record of his birth? I cannot find any siblings. It's a shame it's such a common name, but perhaps with his father's name it could narrow things down a little . . . . . . . . . . any suggestions? Thanks in anticipation! Julie Blackman
