If they were Catholic you can check the church register-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you have looked at the years in question but unfortunately the registers are mostly not legible.

Tithe applotment books shows a James Brien in Fountain, 1826.
That might be a help.
Griffiths Valuation has a James Brien in Ballymuddy.

When James died in 1881, his occupation was stated to be a Carpenter and Thomas was the Informant.

When Thomas Brien, a 30 year old widower, of Fountain re-married in 1876, his occupation was stated to be a Carpenter.  His father is shown as James (Alive).  See below :-

Is this the family you are looking for?

Thank you for your replies. I had found some of the records including Griffiths Valuation, addresses seem to vary at different stages between Fountain & Ballymuddy. I am hoping to connect this O Brien family with an O Brien who went to USA who was born in the area circa 1817 could have been a sister to James O Brien??

Death of Angela O’Brien - informant James, Ballymuddy.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1875/020611/7231879.pdf

Marriage Thomas Brien and Angela Devine

I was hoping that a witness might be a sibling to Thomas so you could find baptism records.
