I am a descendent on the O'Briens from Avoca. My Father was John Desmond O'Brien born in Barrow-in-Furness (England) . My Grandfather was Andrew O'Brien . I believe his father was my grand-grandfather James O'Brien. I found some additional information.

Got this from a friend in Windermere ... Rosanna Cullen came from Cleator Moor, and married Philip Carey from Ireland in 1880, hence the three Carey girls. I think there was several sons as well. Then she married James O'Brien in 1893. There were four other children in this marriage, Michie, Margaret, Rose and Mercy born between 1901 and 1911. She must have had 13 or 14 children. James O'Brien came from County Wicklow.
Also a report that Andrew O'Brien had a brother called Michael and William
