Looking for Gleeson relative of Johanna O’Brien

ReillyRyan:

I went thru the Borrisoleigh parish register for 1857  https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632669#page/71/mode/1up  and did not find any O'Brien baptismal records. The register is easy to read and there are not many baptisms each month. At least 40% of the baptisms were for Ryan children (no surprise).

In searching the subscription site Roots Ireland, there are Johanna O'Brien baptismal records in 1851 1853 1856(2) and 1858(2) in other parishes in North Tipperary.

I assume you do not have any info on parents names?

I believe her father was Timothy O’Brien married to Mary, no known surname. I saw a spelling error. I have a strong DNA match with Thomas Quinlan and Mary Gleeson. Thanks.

ReillyRyan:

No luck finding a Johanna O'Brien with parents Tim and Mary.

Any possibility that her name was Winifred at birth? I located a Winifred O'Brien baptized May 17 1857 with parents Timothy O'Brien and Mary Gleeson. The baotism was at the Templemore RC church. Templemore is two parishes east from Borrisoleigh. This Winifred also had a brother Patrick born in 1858 and a sister Margaret in 1860.

Located these records on the subscription site Roots Ireland.

Correction. Martin by the Irish naming pattern is the father’s name and Mary, unknown maiden name the mother. 

Attached is a picture of Johanna O’Brien’s house in Borrisoleigh. It may still be there today. Thanks. Where can I attach the picture?

ReillyRyan:

I did not find a Johanna O'Brien baptismal record with parents Martin and Mary.

We have an XO Chronicles site  https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy   It would be great if you could add Johanna with a picture of the house.
