My ancestors were Mathew O'Brien and Ellen Falvey. They had 8 children, two of whom came to Australia, Jeremiah and John. Jeremiah  came to Melbourne, Australia in 1864 and in 1873 married Bridget McGurk who had come from county Armagh in Northern Ireland. They had 6 sons and 1 daughter, who unfortunately died in infancy.  However, 5 sons had families, mostly in Victoria, of which I am one. I would be interested in finding out more of the family and the way they lived back in the 1800s until they left or died. I have photos of the farmhouse where they lived, but I believe it has now been demolished to make way for more housing.

Any information would be helpful.
