Hi,

I'm looking for further information on my 3x grandparents John O'Brien & Honora O'Brien nee Hyland. I believe they were married probably around 1830's, as my 2x grandfather Patrick O'Brien was born 1839 near Ballyporeen, Tipperary, but was a native of Limerick. They also had another son John but sadly I don't know much about him, other than he died in Queensland , Australia in 27th March 1891. Patrick migrated to Australia in1864 on the Earl Russell (I think) arriving on 10th August 1864, Moreton Bay, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He married Catherine Kealy on 8th February 1869, Toowoomba, Queensland.  They lived Highfields Road, Stoney Pinch, near Toowoomba. He died 31st July 1906 & is buried at Aubigny, near Oakey, Queensland. They had four children.My grandfather Patrick O'Brien was born 10th June 1876.  He married Margaret Lynam on 23rd July 1908, Toowoomba. They lived in Pimpimbudgee, near Nanango, Queensland. They had three children - Kathleen Mary (died as infant), Patrick Joseph (my father) & William John. Any further information on John & Honora O'Brien would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Bernie O'Brien
