My ggrandmother was Mary Ann O'Driscoll (nee Brennan) b. 1878 from Kilbride, Rochfortbridge who married John O'Driscoll of Castlehaven, Co. Cork.It's an absolute mystery to me how she ended up in Co.Cork! Her mother was Catherine (Kate) Hope of Kilbride. I have traced most of the Hopes in this family as far as I know and would love to contact anyone who is related to the Hopes. I have traced all of John and Kate Brennan's children but 3 died prematurely and I'm not sure exactly which 3. I don't have any definite information regarding John Brennan's parents and siblings. Any info appreciated.

Kevin:
Below is the 1874 civil marriage index record for John and Catherine. You can get a copy from the General Register Office in Dublin or mail to Roscommon town. (Not sure where you live in Ireland). The marriage record will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom were living in 1874. A copy costs around 4 euros.
