Leitrim / Re: Glancy and O'Brien, Leitrim to Glasgow
« on: Monday 03 August 09 18:22 BST (UK)  »
Dear Nina: Please excuse the lateness of my reply and thanks for the work you have done.  The Alice O'Brien is of of my family, she never married unfortunately and is buried with her parents my gr. gr. grandparents in Hyde Park( part of Boston) Mass USA. Also thank you for the tip (Mormon Archive) Rose 1858, Patrick 1860, John 1861 and Catherine 1863 all born in Faughary Leitrim are all the brothers and sisters of Alice.  Patrick I knew of through  stories of my own gradfather( I am 48) and Catherine also never married and is buried with her parents.  Iam very lucky because I was also raised in Hyde Park and the cemetery is where I will be also placed where they are all buried.
Is there a census of that time period when they where in Glasgow or what was the area like at that time?  Did our people live near each other at the same time?  What did they do for work?  etc
Thanks again Slan
Jim O'Brien   PS Have you looked at the O'Brien DNA project?

Leitrim / Re: Glancy and O'Brien, Leitrim to Glasgow

Dear Nina:   Thank you for your responce, unfortunantly I cant seem to locate your suggestion in regards to Alice born in Glasgow.  Her parents(my gr.gr. grandparents) were married in the Killesnet area Faughary townland around 1858.  Daniel O'Brien b. 1834 m. Margaret nee Rooney b. 1839.  They had a girl b. in Faughary 1858 a son Patrick F. b1860, son John in Faughary 1861 and Catherine b. Faughary 1863.  The next child Alice b. 1864 in Glasgow.  They arrived in Boston in !866.
I have a suggestion my self.  I was concerned that maybe I wasnt an O'Brien decenandant from Brian Boru and that my name was a evolution of Mc Brien which is a true Leitrim tribal name or O'Harts O'Briens of Donegal through the O'Neill line.  I took A DNA test through the O'Brien clan sponsorship and found that I am related to "The O"Brien" by some where in the range of 16 generations which is within 2 hundred years.  You might want to do this as well.  My quest is to find relations and to Know how, when and WHY these O'Briens came so far North so short of a time since the transplantation.  The landed gentry of Tottenham married a Clare women by the name of Crowe in the late 1700 who lived in Glenfarne House maybe these O'Briens came with her

Is there any one who has knowledge of an O'Brien family who came from Faughary Leitrim to Glasgow around the year 1863 and left for the United States (Boston) 1866?  Head of household Daniel married Margreat nee Rooney son Patrick Francis born in Ireland and daughter born Alice in Glasgow !864.  Ibelieve there might have been two other children as well Rose and Daniel but not sure.

Leitrim / Re: Duggan/Dougan
« on: Friday 03 July 09 19:50 BST (UK)  »
Hello Busymother:  Iam new member and a O'Brien whose family comes from Leitrim, Faughary (Manor Hamilton) Killesnet.  The Griffiths valuation has Duggans listed within the townland of Faughary.  My family left there to go to Glasgow 1863 and left in 1866 to emigrate to Boston Mass USA.  There they came in contact with Duggans who were pallbears on the death of my gr gr grandfather.  maybe these Duggans are yours of Hyde Park  Boston Mass

Dear Ninatoo:

I am  a new member to this site and saw your topic of the O'Brien's.  Iam an O'Brien descendant  as well from Leitrim people who emigrated to Glasgow before going to the States.  What I also find as common are the Christian names of the O'Brien relations which are common to my family.

My gr.gr grandfather Daniel O'Brien son Of Daniel O'Brien married Margreat Rooney both of Faughary(Manor Hamilton) Killesnet.  Left for Glasgow 1863 having a child Alice in Lanark and arriving in Boston 1866.  My gr. grandfather was born in Boston 1875 followed by brother Thomas. I am the fourth James.
Glenfarne and Manor Hamilton are ten ml away there may be a connection
