Dublin / Re: O'Brien, Murray and Smythe.
« on: Wednesday 05 April 23 18:56 BST (UK) »
I do research anything that comes up about my family tree, not adding until I know for sure. Have not been doing the family tree for a while because of circumstances. But have started it up again, so this is just one thing I need to get sorted. I do need to get the birth of John O'Brien and Cathrine Murray to sort this out once and for all. Which is why I have asked for help.

Thanks again Heywood. The ThruLines may not be accurate and that is what I am trying to find out before I accept or dismiss. It is telling me there is 1 DNA match for Charlotte Dawson of 148 centimorgans. The same for her father Rev William Dawson.

Sorry about the size of that.
Heywood, I am not having problems with Julia O'Brien she is my grandads mother and I have a copy of her marriage cert. Thank you for your help though. It is her grandfather that is causing the confusion.

I found this on hints on Ancestry. I have DNA links to Charlotte and her father Rev William Dawson (1746-1823), these showed up on my ThruLines. Have Ancestry made a big mistake?

Thank you for your answers.
QueenoftheWest, yes it is confusing.
John Dawson Brien was the son of John Brien 1776-1856 and Charlotte Dawson 1799-1850, I have DNA matches with both of these.
I did go back to the start with my dad trying to sort it out. The child that John O'Brien and Catherine Murray had was Christopher O'Brien, born 1838. His daughter was Julia O'Brien born 1868, she married Patrick Byrne born 1868 who are the parents of my grandfather. Also I have noticed that the Brien name over the years changes from Brien to O'Brien.
It is the DNA results that have caused me the confusion.

Hi all not been on here for a good while, but here goes.
I am looking for any information on John O'Brien c1817-1881, Catherine Murray born c1817 and Francis Smythe c1827-1917. John and Catherine are on my tree, my 3x great grand parents. But since my DNA results where I have a connection with them I am finding a Francis Smythe (no DNA connection) married to John O'Brien. John and Catherine married 2nd Dec 1837 and had my 2x great grandad in1838. They married in St Michans Dublin. I then found John married to Frances in 1868 in Harrogate Yorkshire.
What I need to know is, is the John married to Frances the same as the one married to Catherine as I have not bee able to find a record of Catherines death. Which I think is what happened for John to marry again. Any help is appriciated.

Yes I have some false ones on mine. But a couple I thought were false, after some research turned out to be true. Most on mine are good though.
