Brief History

(Following Patrick Troy's death), Elizabeth Troy married James O'Brien (Bryan) at St Mary's 21st September 1830. Elizabeth and James had 4 children. William was born 1834 and Elizabeth in 1836. Elizabeth and James almost certainly lived with William O'Brien, who would have helped out on the property. James did not receive his Ticket of Leave until 1834. This would have meant, that James was ineligible to work for a Wage, in those first few years. James O'Brien (Bryan) came to the Colony on the "Bramtom" in 1823, with his brother William. Their Crimes are unknown at the moment but the brothers were given life at The Summer Assizes at Waterford. On the Convict Ships documents James was described as 26 years of age, 5'8", fresh faced with black hair and grey eyes. He was pardoned in 1841. Brother William earned an early Ticket of Laeve in 1831 due to his apprehending Joseph Lee , who was convicted of robbery. Both brothers were given permission to live at Kissing Point.

Elizabeth probably had little contact with Patricks Children but there is evidence that they kept in touch. On Elizabeths Death Certificate, (the children of her first family), is properly listed as 3 survivors with 2 having died, which was correct at that time. After Patricks death 4 children went to the Orphanges.I know little of what happened to the O'Brien family but Elizabeth remained a strong Catholic. The O'Briens were joined in the St Charles Borromeo Parish by Jane Smith's (Spencer) son, James Spencer who married Elizabeths daughter, Mary. This James Spencer had been taken to Van Dieman's Land by the estranged husband of Jane, while still young. For some reason he was joined up to his Aunt Elizabeth. He  was to receive land from James Squire's Will. James Spencer became Catholic but his mother remained a Presbyterian. Elizabeth died in 1877 and she is buried at the Catholic Church, St Charles Borromeo, built in 1851 at Ryde. There is a large Tombstone in the grounds where she is buried as Elizabeth O'Bryan. James and William O'Bryan  and  George Troy, James Spencer and his wife Mary (Elizabeths daughter) are all buried in the same grounds.
