Notes
General:
090313:

Today as a promotion leading up to St. Patrick's Day, the RootsIreland. com website offered free preliminary searches with the viewing of the actual record still a pay per view propostion. I paid 25 Euro for 175 credits (7 views) and did a generic search for children of William O'Brien and Eliza Reidy in Toomevara hoping to find Birth/Baptismal records for the three of their sons (Thomas, Terence and Morgan) for whom I have never been able to find such records. The generic search turned up Cornelius as expected (I had found his birth/baptismal record previously on the website) but still no sign of the other three. But to my complete surprise it did turn up two other siblings, James and Margaret, for whom I had never previously had any knowledge (nor did Jamie).

With this new information, I may be able to find out more about these two if they survived childhood. But despite the fact that I cannot find burial records for them, it seems likely they did not survive childhood since neither shows up on the 1901 Census with their mother and siblings in Agnameadle, nor is there a marriage record for either of them before that to indicate that they might have moved away.

Notes
General:
According to Jamie he was nicknamed "The Long". He was younger than Joe, who was the eldest of the three brothers. [NB Jamie was wrong about the order in which her father was born in the family. Turns out he was the second born, but the first born William died in infancy and the name was later given to the youngest son to be born into the family]

121108: In an email from Jamie today:

Mountain Lodge is the house and address of Bill O'Brien who lives up the lane from the old road, his sons are billy, tim and matty. nellie, who just died, was married to billy. they are distant rellies of ours, but THEIR house is Mountain Lodge.

Fortwillian is the posh place locally called Dallas. My uncle Jim (indeed Big Jim, 6'6" - also known as The Long) left it to his son Tom, who died a few years ago, as did his wife Delia McDonald. Their son, Paddy AND John are both great hurlers and one is on the Tipp team. Breddie knows both. Tom had a piggery and made millions, but he took to the dhrink and none of his sons (9 kids) wanted to continue with it, so I believe it is vacant now, but young Paddy was left the place. To recap, Fortwilliam was built into a mansion about 20 years ago, with cedars of lebanon planted all along the entrance, and a view to kill all views. In fact you could see Billy O'Brien's house across the fields from it (Mountain Lodge, which is off the olde road, aka Grawn. Garrane is the Irish for Grove, and it was always called Grawn in English.
