Hi Mike ...I think we've been in contact before (?) ...a few years back (?)  re my 'Hourihan-O'Brien's.

The 'John Hourihan' just mentioned above (of Dublin) was actually a descendant of a 'Hourihan-O'Brien'.  He had an ancestor's birth certificate showing same ....  yet his parents had only used 'Hourihan'.   My cousin actually met 'John H' in Dublin ....a few years back now ...and we have a copy of his relative's cert ..... 'Timothy Hourihane O'Brien'.   (I heard too that John was in ill-health.)

With regards to the above quote, I tried making contact with 'John H' mentioned but my email was rejected. I have just received a copy of my husbands HOURIHAN family tree from my Father in Law and was trying to fill in some gaps...my husbands grandfather was a Donald Hourihan, born in 1917 Tylorstwon, South Wales, his father was Albert James Hourihan, born in 1892 in Somerset Leys, Frome Somerset, his father was John Hourihan (who I think is the same as above link?) born in 1861 in Dunmanway, Co Cork and his father was a Jeremiah Hourihan, married to a Mary Hurly (?) and that's where my info stops.

If anyone can fill in any gaps or put me in touch with anyone else with the same names/dates I'd appreciate it to see how much more I can glean
