Thanks for your reply PAB.
Yes, Herbert and Ernest were younger.
I haven't really been researching the Breens to any extent. I stumbled across some information from a family name search on Rootsweb and a Google search of the name Mary Breen directed me to this forum.
It is interesting to know that there are family connections scattered far and wide.
My family has a photo of Mary Sadlier if you would like a copy.

Mary Sadleir 1818-1886 was my gg grandmother.

Michael Breen 1805-1869 and Mary married in Clonoulty Parish in 1840. Later, they settled in Westbury, Tasmania.

Cousin Martin Breen and Honora and their four children arrived in Tasmania on board 'Great Tasmania' on 27 Jan 1857. They settled in Westbury as well.

Michael and Mary's daughter Margaret (b.1853) married Martin and Honora's son Patrick (b.1846) in 1870. Patrick used to sing a ditty about being an Upperchurch man. I think that's in the Sadleir area of Tipperary.

Margaret and Patrick had thirteen children. Some children died in infancy. Their youngest child was my grandmother. She attributed her charmed life to being the 13th child of Maggie a 13th child. Maybe the double dose of Breen and the luck of the Sadleirs helped as well.
