Looking for any information on a James O'Brien and Josie (Josephine) Boyleson from Thurles.

Think both were born about 1901. Cannot find them on censuses.

They emigrated to London, England before 1920.

They had 3 children together, James Joseph O'Brien born 1920, Lawrence O'Brien born 1922 and Rosalind O'Brien born 1924 .

Josephine O'Brien drowned in River Thames 1937 and believe children may have been looked after by family in Ireland before moving back to London.

Rosalind married an American, Bernard Kramer, and emigrated to Pittsburgh USA.  She died In 1980's.

James settled in Oxfordshire, England.

Lawrence emigrated to South Africa in 1969 and died in 1980.

Does this mean anything to anyone?  I believe there are still Boilson family members living in Thurles.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
