Hello and welcome.
Where did Patrick and Catherine marry?
Are there O’Briens as witnesses or godparents for children?
Do you have the deaths of the parents?

Thanks for link Its confusing as seen several documents and address differs from 35 /37/115 upper william street.
I know that great great grandfather died 1867 seen wills etc but too many O'Brien's

I don't know if William survived i notice a John and Anne Galligan on document
Also Thomas O'Brien is mentioned a farmer from Meanus? Wondered if he was Patrick(the grocer) brother and a James or John Galligan dob 11.7.1834 from upper kingstown george st dublin i believe a confectionist
Mary Anne Galligan i came across aSuliana Downy
Katherine Mary Cahill dob 1856/7 was born wexford fern bantry

Where are they living in England in the censuses?
I have seen one couple with children with mmn Cahill in 1901 but that Catherine is born in England.
