michael finnessy o'brien from munster
Does anyone have any info on this man ? I think he went to the Ballarat gold fields in the late 1800s. He was married to honaria quinlan
joseph o'brien, huntly mining disaster
have found some more info on Joseph O'Brien. I think he died in Auckland in 1961. His date of birth would be around 1885 but I cant find a record of this, its possible he was born in Australia, family tales mention the ballarat gold fields
He married Margaret McGill (from somewhere near Lyttleton/greymouth I think). Marriage date was 1910, and I think her full name was Margaret McKeen Mcgill. I think she died in 1975, age 82. Both she and Joseph are buried in Auckland.
They had several children, the names I recall are Jack (wharfies union, Auckland), Jean, married Tom Edwards, a daughter known as Tommie who married an American after the war and went to live in USA, my grandmother who I think was known as Cissie, she died of TB just after WW2, was married to Morris Madden.
The one child I would particularly like to make contact with is Clete (Cletus?. He was the youngest by a good few years.He married Audrey Holden of Howick. They had 3 sons, Kevin RIP, Gary and Shane. They lived in Auckland. I heard that Clete traced the family history back to Ireland but I have no way of getting in touch with him or his family.
If anyone out there knows of this family it would be a great help.
Also, I am living in West Cork in Ireland. If I can help anyone with local info from this area I would be pleased to help. I work as a community nurse/midwife and my clients are very good at knowing who is related to who around here
