    1. [NHHILLSB-L] O'Briens in Nashua after 1883
    2. Candy_B
    3. I have located much info on my direct ancestors who are buried at St. Patrick's in Hudson, but have come upon a mystery. In the family plot, along with her parents, Edwin Marnes and Doralta O'Brien, is _Mrs._ Genevieve M. O'Brien, died July 26, 1962, age 81. I visited the cemetery briefly last year on the hottest day of the year and was unable to fully walk the cemetery, but found several other O'Brien plots. Question 1: Did Genevieve marry a "cousin" or just another O'Brien? Her family was not originally from NH, but went there from Clinton Co., NY around 1884. The combined O'Brien/Marnes plot contains about 16 of my relatives, including some of Genevieve's descendants. There is also another Marnes plot listed on the plot plan within about 2 rows of the O'Brien/Marnes plot, but did not realize it was on the plan until after I had left the area :( so never got to check it for other possible family members. Question 2: Is there anyone on the list who is related to this family? I have a lot of info to share and would love to locate descendants of either Doralta O'Brien Marnes' family or the descendants of her brother James, b. 1855, NY, and his wife Lucy Fleming, b. Canada. I have a death certificate for a son of James and Lucy (Patrick L.) who died at age 1 in 1884. I also have birth and baptismal info for a daughter of theirs (Mary Frances) b. April 11, 1885. These 2 particular lines are the ones that I have the least information on at this point. The siblings that I have info on to date are: Martin Henry, Angela Bridget, Mary E., David Edward (my g grandfather) Ellen E., Bibiana F., and Mary Regina. I know that Mary Regina became a Sister of the Holy Cross (Sister Mary of the Nativity), and was at the St. Francis Xavier Convent in Nashua in the late 1930s and early 1940s after having taught in several schools in NH and MA. Doralta was the only daughter who married. All except Martin, James and Mary Regina are buried in the family plot at St. Patrick's along with their parents, Patrick O'Brien and Ellen Brown O'Brien. TIA for any help with this family.
