Hi coleenward       John and Daniels father was John O'Connor.born 1825 married Ann cooper .they had a son William and daughter Anne. They then moved to England where John was born in London they then moved to Manchester where Daniel was born.young Daniel and John moved to Belfast.john married Jane coyle and Daniel married Mary mccarron.im Joseph O'Connors  granson your grandmother must be my aunt patsy.ill gather more info for you.     Sloppyjoe

after ww1 my grandfather joseph oconnor joined the newly formed irish army and served till 1922.he was a luitenant in the latter years.i have pension records of his but would like to know if there any other type of records relating to his service.the story goes that because he looked a bit like michael collins the army used him as a decoy at times being driven round in the back of various vechaels.he never collected his pension and refused to acknowledge devalera.would these stories be on army records?

i believe daniel o'connor and my great grandfather john were brothers.william and ann were born in ireland, john was born in london and daniel in manchester.their father was also called john born about 1825 and according to johns marriage cert their mother was called ann cooper born about 1830.for a time when daniel lived in washington street their next door neighbour was a o'connor also french polisher.i dont know if this is another relation.ann married joseph roe and lived near stockport and william married maria dolan and lived in warrington.hope this has been some help to your search.
