My great grandfather immegrated to the US in about 1850. His name was John C O'Mara, and we believe he came with two brothers, David and Patick. Wondering if I have and relatives in the area? Joe Mara
Joe:
I can't help you directly with your search for current relatives in Ireland. Brickendown was/is a very small parish. I checked the 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listings for the parish and there was a Richard Mara in Killistafford townland. Possibly he was the father of the three brothers.
I checked the 1901 census for Killistafford and there were no Maras or O'Maras in the townland.
