Armagh / O'Brien Patterson Ditty of Lurgan
« on: Thursday 05 January 12 11:38 GMT (UK) »
I've just joined and posting my interests:
Looking for the family of Joseph O'Brien and his wife Mary Ditty, both born early 1800s.
Their son Joseph O'Brien and his wife Margaret Patterson had their family in Lurgan and moved to Glasgow in the late 1870s.
The O'Briens were tenant farmers of Lord Lurgan (Charles Brownlow) and lived in the hamlets of Boconnel, Drumnakelly and Knockramer. These were all part of the Brownlow Estate. I have a book about the Brownlow Estate which mentions many leaseholders. Look ups available.
Joseph was born c.1831, his brother William c.1834 in Armagh.
I suspect, although have not proved, that Joseph was related to Charles O'Brien and his wife Mary McAlindon. Many of the tenants on the Brownlow Estate followed the O'Briens to Glasgow, i.e. the Cassidys, Haugheys.
cheers
