Looking for any information on my GGrandparents William Obrien and Jane Culleen. The only info I have is what is written on their son William Francis Obrien death cetificate and that they were Hotel Proprietors. I don't know were in Ireland. William Francis was born 1863 in Tulla and died in Perth Western Australia in 1912.

    In addition, the oral history with the O'Briens is that they all came from Lough Graney area (Feakle/Flagmount).

  • Hi Jane,

    Thank you very much for all the information. I was under the impression that William only had 1 sibling a sister called Ellen, this is gives me so much more to work on. You have put a date of 24-9-1864 on bottom of the list of William and Jane's children no name is with this. The Ellen I have is born around this date.

    Kind regards....Nola

  • Hi Anna:

    Yes,  I believe that it is the same family.

    my apologies for leaving out the Ellen for the baptism date of 24 September 1864.  There are others researching the same family.  If you post a message to me at tulla@irelandxo.com, I can forward you the information.
