Hi my ggg grandmother julia doolan came from ireland. Her father was a farmer/labourer. I have her born 1830ish possibly 1833.
She married a james bird and a micheal brennan and died in birmingham uk.

Hi

I am also researching Brannon's in Birmingham at the same time.

My gg nan married a John Brannon in 1873 and widowed in 1877 does this match your tree as i am at a loss with it all at the moment.
