John O'Brien County Leitrim

[annette ellen]

I am hoping that someone may be able to help me find info regarding this family.
I have a John O'Brien born c 1780 married Mary Gillon  when ?

A son Hugh O'Brien born c1808, County Leitrim Occup Quarrier/Labourer died in Linlithgow and married twice- 1. Ann McGuire, 2. Mary Travers.

They had 3 children, Mary O'Brien b 1832, Catherine born 1834 and Ann born 1840 in County Leitrim.

I do not have anything else about them and if someone can help that would be really great.

Regards
Annette.

Co. Leitrim records (parish & civil) are available on line at http://www.irish-roots.ie but none go back as far as your O'Brien/Gillon marriage.

The oldest marriage record for Gillon is in 1832 - including one for a Mary. The earliest Gillon birth/baptisms start in around 1826 and show some spelling variations :

Baptism    Gilan    John    1826    Co. Leitrim
Baptism    Gillen    Darby    1829    Co. Leitrim
Baptism    Gillan    Patrick    1830    Co. Leitrim
Baptism    Gillin    Margaret    1830    Co. Leitrim
Baptism    Gillan    Mary    1831    Co. Leitrim
etc..

two of the O'Brien children could be listed - Ann and Catherine, although you have to enter obrien or o'bryan as surname to get them.

(the index is free on this site but to view the record details costs €5)
