Hello Listers,   I'm new to this NYC list and hope someone might be able to help me in finding information for my gr gr grandfather, Patrick O'Brien b.c.1820 (yes, a needle in the proverbial haystack!) from Co. Tipperary and any O'Brien family that may have resided in NYC area.   I have a picture of Patrick taken sometime about 1880 at Long Photography located at 395 & 687 8th. Ave., N.Y. - I assume this is NYC, but not sure. I'm trying to determine the time Patrick would have been in NY and if he died there - hope having information for the photographer might help.    Patrick's wife, Mary (maiden name unknown) and daughter Delia (aka Ida) were in Chicago c.1880.  where another daughter, Mary Jane Mason and son Patrick Jr. were residing.  Mary's 1888 death certificate states she was a widow and a resident of Chicago for 8 years, but they were not found in the census for 1880. I suspect Mary and Delia may have come to Chicago upon the death of Patrick Sr.   Delia was married to Charles William Schubert in June 1883.  Their first child,  Charles William, d. July 1885 - the Chicago obituary states "NY papers please copy" as does the April 1900 obituary for Mary Jane O'Brien-Mason.  So, I assume O'Brien family was in NY.   Thanks for any information/guidance.   Regards,   Judie Mason Chicago IL
