Hi Judy, I noticed your interest in the O'Brien's from Limerick. I have a Catherine O'Brien born abt. 1805 who married John O'Halloran. Two of their children were baptised at St. Michael's and St. John's.Do you think there could be a connection to your O'Briens..

My O'briens came from Glenroe Ballyorgan Garryarthur Kilflyn which is about 26miles southeast of Limerick City. I do have a Catherine but I believe she was born in the 1830s. I have been trying to find her information and her siblings Information. Catherine was the sister of Michael, Daniel, John, and Ann. I have only that she was the sponsor of my Granduncle William in 1869 at Kilfyn.
