Crimean war - Thomas O'Brien (ref Manchester's query 2006 (!))

[Manchester]

Christopher, Thomas O'Brien and Bridget Connell are my wife's second great grandparents. What is your connection to them?

[km1971]

His attestation was on 9 November 1854, at age 17y 10m. That would put his date of birth as 9 January 1837 or perhaps slightly earlier: perhaps I have missed something when you deduce 6 January 1837.

The ten months is not exact. They did not state number of days over ten months. I will not be digging out his record again. But whatever was the first day that he is not 'under age' should be his 18th birthday, so apologies if my 'sums' are out.

Thanks!
Thomas and Bridget are also my twice great grandparents. I was born in Manchester.
Happy to let you know the line of my connection to Thomas and Bridget if you would like to share your wife's line to them as well.
If you wish to use a personal message to reply, that's fine with me.
Yes, I wondered if we had a connection!
Christopher
