Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,667 Send Message	https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/message-board/obriens-kings-county Is this your message with the birth year a mistake (marriage checks out for 1883) - I'm trying to search my great grandmother's line but have come to a halt. Her name on her marriage certificate was Agnes Adeline O'Brien, place of birth Kings County 1842-1845 Her father was recorded as James O'Brien a wheelwright. She married John Grocott in Liverpool in 1883. Her date of birth was 1842 but I think this may have been incorrect due to needing parental permission if under 21yrs. And a reply - Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out! I searched Roots Ireland and searched in Co. Offaly for an Agnes O'Brien baptismal record with father James. The only record that came up was March 27 1859 in Birr. Father James O'Brien and mother Bridget Ryan.

Member Since: August 2008 Posts: 4 Send Message	Thank you all for your help. I was hoping that Agnes's middle name might make it easier to trace but I know that it is quite a common name. Your replies are gratefully appreciated. Angela
