Hi Keith
I'm not sure where you found me on 'Rootschat'!??  However I will give you MY family links!
Our family descends from 'Hourihan/e-O'Brien' - areas Dunmanway/Drimoleague/Bandon/Leap.

MY g/grandad was George BRIEN b1829 Dunmanway to John Brien and Mary nee Leary.
(they re-settled in Woolwich c1845 - George BRYAN dCatford 1912.

My grandad (their lstborn) John Henry BRYAN d Lewisham 1950 (m Clara Muggeridge d1924) 

My father Charles Henry BRYAN b Lewisham 1915 emig 1951 & d Perth WAus 1985.  (my home)

Misc notes:
Margaret Brien (g/dad's sibling (parents John & Mary nee Leary) b 1837  m John Crowley (?)
James     Brien "            "             "               "                          b 1839  m Catherine Collins b1843                                                                                                                                                                                                                        ….                                                                                          Bantry  mother Ellen Collins b1805
A few years back -John Hourihan of Dublin (now d) shared 'Hourihan/e-Brien' info i.e. his parents were Timothy & Mary Hourihan/e-O'Brien from Leap.

Thank you Annette.

'Yes' that's interesting -George (Snr)'s marriage certificate/s could possibly reveal 'name of father'.

1st marriage to Sophie Francis (c1824)
2nd      "       to Emma Mowle  (c1860)

(I'm a descendant of George Snr's 3rd son Ebinezer.)

Hi - thankyou for sharing your latest news/findings - much appreciated.

I will need more time to 're-open' my file/s. 
Firstly though - regarding 'bastardy files' - Anne probably hadn't needed any assistance - I think 'Mr Moss' was in a comfortable financial situation to 'avoid' Anne attracting unnecessary (?) attention?

I must try and update 'Tessa' who also has an interest (& file) on 'our Mortimer's.

Thank you again - Valerie

Thanks Jack.
I haven't had my DNA taken - yet.  I'm not sure whether I'd be good enough.  I seem to resemble my mother's side ... whereas a sister shows more of our Irish side.  (not sure if I'm making sense!)

I guess I need to give it more serious thought.  Do you think one testing Company is more preferable than others? ('Ancestry' &/or 'Find my Past')

Hi Jack ...I can't remember if I responded to your earlier message … I've been away ..so thought I'd have another 'go' with my research..

You mention a 'Hourihane' connection with 'O'Brien' - which is my main interest!  An elderly (Bryan)relative told me that our name was originally 'Hourihan-O'Brien')…. 'from a long way back'.

My ggrandfather George Bryan was born 'John Brien' in Dunmanway 1829 - parents John & Mary Brien (nee Leary).

I have found one sibbling 'Michael Brien' born Bandon c1832 - he too settled in London c1850.

 I have had some help from 'Ireland Reaching Out' - and now have other sibblings born in various (Cork) places - Annakissey etc etc.


I have some (unwanted) marriage certs (London) -a Mary Ann Brien's father was 'Dennis' (so not mine) .  (I think it was a popular name)

Can you see any possible link with my 'Michael' born Bandon to John & Mary (O) Brien (nee Leary)?

Unfortunately seems that DNA testing is more suited for male family members.

Hi John
I have since checked those 'Bastardy Files' -though without any sightings.  Have you made any further advancement with your searching?  I can exchange a few snippets if you can 'pm' me please,

Valerie
