I have Edward "Ned" O'Brien coming from Tipperary to the Peterborough Ontario area by 1856. He had a land grant from "The Crown". I do not know if he was from Tipperary city or just the county in general. He had at least 5 sons - another Edward (my line), William, Jimmy, Jack"Quinn" and Sandy - who came also. I would love to pinpoint the Tipperary location. Edward (the son) was married in 1859 in Douro Twp to Bridget Heffernan; we have no date for his birth or the father. not even sure of the wife's name.
