John McBrien

Hi Patrica,

A search of subscription site www.findmypast.ie has 3 "john McBrien" who are Church of Ireland and baptised 1815 and 1816 with different fathers recorded. The surname appears to be quite common in Counties Fermanagh and Cavan. No John McBrien found for 1817.

The census record for 1821 has a John McBrien born 1818 in Belturbet area of Co. Cavan. Record Attached.

There is a record of the marriage of a John McBrien who is recorded as Roman Catholic to a Mary A McCartney in 1843 in New South Wales. It is a transcribed record, so it may not be accurate.

Regards,

Many th anks McCoy anyone could have been him I only know he was buried ad Catholic but he could have chaned.  It looks like the marriage is the right one will look into it Thanks again Patricia

Sorry for not replying sooner as you say the marriage is the right one, but I can;t find out when he arrived in Austrialia will try and find out who his mother was Many Thanks Pat
