Hello from Abertawe, not that far away from you!!  One of my great, grandmothers wasMary Hourihan.  She married Timothy Donovan and they lived in the Leap area of West Cork.  Leap is between the town of Clonakilty and Skibereen.

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.

Hello Valerie. Initially,  I was  wondering if this Hourihan/ O'Brien connection could be the same family.
I can't see a direct correlation with the dates, of both families.
There is always the possibility that there is a long, perhaps 2 links down the line, so who knows?
I also have links to Bandon (Barry, Collins, Sullivan), Timoleague  (Madden), Rosscarberry (Dempsey),
Kinneigh (Murphy and Corcoran), Dunmanway (Hurley and Donovan) and general West Cork links, with Decoursey and O'Brien (specifics yet to be discovered).

Good luck with your research.
Regards from Cymru (Wales)

Hi
The John Hourihane you 1st asked about who emigrated to Newport, Wales and Married Bridget Collins in 1850 are my Great Grandparents X3
I would love to hear from you if you are still interested.

Hi -

'Yes'  …….. I'm interested in learning more of your link with John Hourihan.  I have only just come across your info. 
Please can you 'pm' me?

I tried to 'pm you' - without success!  (Think you need to 'post' another one or two posts to connect.)
