Quote from: ObrienDublin on Saturday 10 November 18 22:46 GMT (UK) It’s difficult tracing Irish records because a lot of people didn’t register anything, as long as you were baptised , their records were good enough. But only some of the church records are online, which is a shame because they give out such really good information like mothers maiden name and fathers occupation etc.That’s not necessarily the case and some of your records are more recent.When you say you know his year of birth and that he was a clerk in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers how certain is this? Is it from family knowledge?Is the 1929 record definitely him but sometime between 1929 and 1936 he ‘married’ Bridget Whelan?

I must have missed that, only one O'Brien family Leinster Ave. in 1911 Gratton King O'Brien works for a newspaper thought. Pity
1911 Gratton King O’Brien and family at 35 Leinster Avenue.http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/North_Dock/Leinster_Avenue/19600/1929 marriage address of Michael is 34 Leinster Avenue.Perhaps coincidence.
On his Military History Sheet it just has a pencil drawn down through it as if he did nothing or went nowhere in the army. At the bottom it gives his next of kin.
