Henry is Ernest O’Bryen’s paternal grandfather
Following the same convention I have done elsewhere, I am planning to make this HHOB, Senior, to distinguish him from his fourth son Henry Hewitt O’Bryen Junior, and also from two grandsons. Henry Hewitt O’Bryen b. 1835, son of John Roche O’Bryen, and Henry Hewitt O’Bryen b. 1845, son of Robert Hewitt O’Bryen. They will be referred to throughout as Mgr O’Bryen, and Henry Hewitt O’Bryen III.
Henry Hewitt O’Bryen was born in 1780 in Ireland , and died on the 11th May 1836 in Cobh, County Cork. He married Mary Roche in November 1807 in Whitepoint, Cove, Co. Cork, she was the daughter of John Roche and Miss Collins?. She was born in Ireland in 1780 and died in 1852.
He is the son of Laurence O’Brien and Jane Hewitt who married on the 20th March 1778 in Castle Townsend, County Cork. He was born in1754 in Ireland. Jane was the daughter of Henry Hewitt and an unknown mother. Henry appears to have a brother Stephen Laurence O’Bryen though this is unconfirmed.
Henry’s paternal grandparents appear to be Daniel O’Brien was born 1717, and died 1758 in Castletownsend, Co. Cork, and Ann Sullivan. They married in 1743, in Cork.
