Thomas O’Brien and Catherine Kelly

Looking for descendants of Thomas O’Brien and Catherine Kelly of Kilmurry-Ibrickane Parish.

Married 23 April 1843 at St Mary’s RCC, Mullagh, County Clare.  Witnesses: Patrick O’Brien, Daniel Kelly and Honora Murrihy.

Thomas O’Brien was from Bonavilla, Ballymackea beg, Mullagh, County Clare, Ireland and Catherine Kelly was from Mount Scot, Knockanalban, County Clare, Ireland. Daniel Kelly was the father of Catherine Kelly and is list in the 1826 & 1834 Tithe Applotment Books in Knockanalban.

CHILDREN:

2.       Nora O’Brien bap 19 May 1844 Sponsors: Thomas ? and ? Lynch

3.       Thomas O’Brien bap 6 Apr 1850 Sponsors: James Baley and Margaret Kelly

This family was a neighboring family of my O’Brien family and I would like to find meet descendants of this O’Brien family.  I expect that this family may have left Ireland for America or Australia.  There were many neighboring families that emigrated from the Kilmurry-Ibrickane Parish after the famine in the 1850’s.
