    3. I have written about "cousin Charlie Sheridan" before, but getting info out of relatives sometimes seems like getting water out of a dry sponge! Having learned a couple of new things about him, I am trying again. "Cousin Charlie" probably was born about 1897-1898. He hung around the Thomas Jameson home in Boston a lot. In fact he lived with the family for several years. I have one picture of him taken in about 1909 and he looks just like the rest of the Jameson boys. Today I learned that he may have been born in RI to a sister of Honora (Nora, Elnora or Ellen) O'Brien Jameson. He may have been illegitimate or his father may have died young. Nora had a sister named Margaret who worked in the home of a wealthy family in Newport, RI. She was in charge of the kitchen and never married. We know Nora and Margaret had a brother named Daniel O'Brien who lived in Boston and died at an early age. Their parents were Daniel O'Brien (6 Jan 1839 in County Cork, Ireland to 21 Nov 1917 in Boston MA) and Mary Ellen Barnet. We have no information on her dates and it is believed she died before the family came to the US from 1883 to 1885. We have always believed that there were other siblings but don't know their names. Thomas and Nora used pretty common naming patterns for their children who were: Mary Jean, Frances Helena, Robert Henry, Mabelle, Daniel Joseph, James John, Thomas T, Mathew and Margaret. We know all the names of Thomas' siblings, so that leaves Frances, Helena, Mabelle, Henry, Joseph and Mathew as unknown relatives of Nora. Perhaps the sister was Frances, Helena or Mabelle O'Brien. Cousins visited Charlie's mother in a nursing home in Newport "When Charlie was in the Navy". WWI?? I think Charlie would have been too old for WWII. Help! Thanks.
