In the 1851 Census he was at home with his mother, aunt (father's sister I think) and brother Edward. His mother and brother were listed as "Landed Proprietors", the aunt was an annuitant and he was a Clerk with the West of England Insurance Company. They had a housemaid and a gardener, so obviously were well-to-do.

There is an anomaly on the 1891 census. He and Bessie are both listed but he died the previous year. Obviously the landlord gave the information and forgot to omit his name.

From the Evenin Telegram 240413 courtesy of Lanny Morry:

The real Southern Shore Queen Clotilda O'Brien sits in her home in Cape Broyle on the Southern Shore surrounded by cards she received marking her 100th birthday. A celebration was held at the community hall on Saturday, April 6. - Photo by Glen Whiffen/The Telegram Published on April 24, 2013 Centenarian's birthday turns into a community celebration If the heart of a community could be a person, Clotilda O'Brien is certainly that for Cape Broyle on the Southern Shore. "Aunt Clo," as she is most affectionately known, celebrated her 100th birthday earlier this month by greeting a large gathering of family and friends at the community hall overlooking the harbour in this small fishing town known in folksong as "the Southern Shore Queen." In addition to the locals in attendance, relatives travelled from other areas of Canada and the United States to take part in the event. There was music, dancing and a lot of food to go with handshakes and hugs. The heap of cards and well wishes amazed even the woman who has been around for a century. And as the afternoon progressed, Aunt Clo was not satisfied to just sit in a wooden rocking chair - lined for her comfort with a white furry throw - and greet familiar faces as people bent down towards her. With the aid of a walker, she decided to stretch her legs and move around the lines of long tables, saying hello, sometimes lost in a wrapping of arms with only her curly, grey hair visible. Later on, she had a scuff. A slide show presentation offered a glimpse of a woman who, though small in stature, has lived a big life - from her young days with her parents and siblings in Cape Broyle to her 30 years of teaching, to working at Fort Pepperrell in St. John's during the Second World War, to her travels and her love of music and her guiding role with the church choir. She also spent two years at St. Martha's Convent in Antigonish, N.S. "I didn't like that," she said, laughing. "I came home. It wasn't for me." At one point during the celebration she was handed a microphone and recited "The Highwayman," a narrative poem written by Alfred Noyes and first published in 1906. For that she received a standing ovation. Greg O'Brien, Aunt Clo's nephew, drew laughter when he asked the crowd, "How many of you were taught by Aunt Clo? How many of you can spell, write and do math because you were lovingly jabbed in the head by a sharpened pencil?" Aunt Clo said later it was more of a tap on her students' heads than what Greg made it out to be. "I don't know how that story got out. That was my nephew who put that story out," she said, shaking her head. "He was always tormenting me about that, you know. They still keep that going. It will be a memory of me, I s'pose, when I'm gone." Patricia O'Brien, Aunt Clo's niece, said her aunt was looking forward to her 100th birthday party for months. "She just loves having people around. Her family and friends," Patricia said. "She is always in a good mood, always pleasant and happy." With Cape Broyle being a community-oriented town, close friend Catherine Blake said marking Aunt Clo's birthday became a community event. "Clo has been an important person in a lot of people's lives, a stalwart member of the community," Blake said. "Clo has such a warm and giving personality that people are endeared to her. They come to her house for visits. She's interested in people. She engages you in conversation." Blake said getting up in age doesn't keep Aunt Clo down. At 95, after noticing her hearing wasn't what it used to be, Aunt Clo took a course at the School for the Deaf in St. John's to learn lip reading and basic sign language. A couple of years ago she took up painting - landscapes and flowers, mostly. Sheila Kelly said Aunt Clo had a huge influence on her family, having taught her and her children at the school in Cape Broyle. "She was a good teacher. We learned a lot from her over the years," Kelly said. "I used to do some housework for her, too. She has a great personality, is fun loving and a great storyteller. Everybody in the community calls her Aunt Clo, or Auntie Clo, or just Clo." As for teaching, Aunt Clo says times have changed and she'd be lost in today's classrooms. "I wouldn't want to be teaching now - everything is so technical, but much better I s'pose," she said. "Everything is computers now. Technology today is getting so fast, you can't keep up to it. "The kids today have wonderful opportunities that we didn't have years ago." For 17-year-old Sarah O'Brien, however, her Great-Aunt Clo still has lots to offer young people. "She's been through almost every era, the '60s, '70s, '80s … the '20s, '30s … all those iconic eras I hear about and wished I could be a part of," Sarah said. "There's only so much I can get from reading a book or watching a documentary, but hearing it from her, and seeing who she is as a person and how that has changed her is amazing." Greg O'Brien has always known the value of having Aunt Clo as part of his family's life. "People don't reach 100 all the time, so it's a huge thing for us," he said. "She is someone who truly does care about people. Clo is one of those people who wants to be around people, and I honestly believe that's why Aunt Clo is 100 years old … because she wants to be with people. She wants to enjoy their company. "I think if anybody has their state of mind about them at 100 years of age and they can reflect back over that period of time, they are going to be interesting and engaging. "And 100 years is a long personal history to draw on, just from the perspective of, what were things like? How did they change? And for me, it's a personal history. It is who I am. What were my relatives like, what was my father like as a young man? She was there with him, every step of the way."

Notes
General:

24 Dec 2007: When I obtained a copy of the baptismal record of Jamie's father from the North Tipperary Genealogy Centre website I noted that the sponsors were Cornelius and Eliza O'Brien. Jamie confirmed that Cornelius (or Con) was her father's uncle but wasn't sure if Eliza was his wife. I am assuming that she was the mother since that was her name, though it is unusual for the mother to be the sponsor at her own child's baptism.

071108: It appears they may have been childless. Jamie doesn't know of any cousins of her father from this marriage and they were childless on the 1911 Census when she was already 46. Apparently they married late in life as he was still living at home with his mother in 1901 according to the Census and therefore married after 40.
