Hello, a chairde,
I'm looking for relatives of Peter O'Brien b. 1776 and married to Ellen Kelleher. All the information I am giving are from records of South Parish, Cork City. They had 5 children: Michael b. 1802, Daniel b. 1803, Mary b. 1810, Denis b.1813 and Ellen b. 1818. Denis (3X Great Grandfather) married Catherine Sullivan in 1841 and had two children born in Ireland, Hanna b. 1843 and Mary b. 1845. Immigrated to New Jersey USA in 1846. He had a cousin who immigrated at the same time by the name of Cornelius O'Brien who was around the same age as Denis.
I'm visiting Ireland in Sept. of this year hoping to find relatives and more records. Any information would be helpfull.
Le meas,
Robert Graham

Robert, this is way too late for your visit so apologies, I have been asked to look at old quereis hence the sudden burst of life if I may call it that. Since you posted Cork is one of the few counties that have their church reocrds free online now but again you have done the heavy lifting there, the iste is here, click on church, civil records from 1864 are also there, unfortunately your names occur frequently enough in Cork too. https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/
I lived in the South Parish about 60 years ago and it is doubtful if the same families are in the area as it is quiet central to the city.
Good Luck
Pat
PS Hope you had a nice trip as Cork is a lovely place
