    I have a GGGgrandfather, John O'Brien, married Catherine Haley born circa 1785 somewhere in Cork. They had 2 sons; Maurice and Timothy and possibly a 3rd son Edward.

    Maurice immigrated to USA in 1864 with his wife Johanna and children: John and wife Mary and settled in Belmont, MA. they are burried in Belmont Cemetery.

    Timothy initially immigrated to Wales, UK circa 1852 and married Elizabeth Thompson (b 1838 d 1862 in Wales). They had Mary Jane b 1856, John J b 1857 and William b 1861. In 1872 Timothy and sons immigrated to USA and joined the brother Maurice and settled in Belmont, MA

    I am searching for information on John and Catherine O'Brien in Cork. Any assistance you can provide on how to find them would be appreciated. Location, Parish, etc.
