Looking for William O'Brien of Halifax Nova Scotia Canada and Sackville New Brunswick Canada

Question

William was born in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada abt 1800

Died in Cookville New Brunswick Canada 03 April 1863

Married Lucy Sears 07 June 1827 Westmorland County New Brunswick Canada.

What I am looking for is his parents syblings and grandparents as I have none of them I have his wife and children in Sackville and Cookville and in only 1 cences 1851 and there is a mistake in it saying head of household  George Lunn it should be William O'Brien. I have seen O'Brien wirtten Obrien, O'brien, O'Brian and O'Bryn. This William is a brick wall for my family and I would love my family to see it broken down in my lifetime as he has been plagueing our family for 20 some on years started by my Mom Eva Blanch O'Brien and passed to my neice in the early 1990 when my mom passed away I hope you can help me to break this wall down so we can start on another one in this family.

 

Thank you for the help inadvance

Answer 1

Daniel F Johnson's New Brunswick Newspaper Vital Statistics http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/NewspaperVitalStats/default.aspx?culture=en-CA is a place I have had good luck looking for Sackville family events at that time.

Answer 2

Barnabas Colins  O Brien born  April 1 1770 in  Onslow Colchester NS married Catherine Downing Nov. 23, 1793 in Colchester.   This is posted on ancestry without a any references but it gives a place to start.

Answer 3

Hello there don't know if you are still looking for this info.  The people you are looking for are in my husbands family tree. If you go to family search.org you should be able to find it; this site is free and you can build your tree there but it is not linked to all sources; the way I found this info was through some marriage certificate information from the Nova Scotia vital stats and obituaries of family members ; you will see that there are family members beyond this time but I have not yet verified those; up to William and Lucy I have verified through multiple sources.  Hope this helps; I have a question for you.  Wondering if you've found any native ancestry with the O'Brien's? I have pictures of an O'Brien family that married Burbine/Leblanc but no evidence to support yet.

Tnx
