I have marriage proof of my gg-grandmother Mary Drake married Jeremiah O'Brien [Brein] her father is listed as Robert Drake or [Dreake] they had a bunch of kids in Ireland, their birth/baptism records are recorded. But, my line is Hannah O'Brien she I can not find any papers on her. She was born in Ireland in 1882 she did in Boston in 1930. Can anyone help me find Hannah proof of birth. I am also looking for Mary Drake's birth/baptism so I can learn her mothers name.

Thank you

    Looking at the profile for Jeremiah Brien 9H9H-QV9 and Mary Drake GHH6-XMS, I see a listing for a Johanna Brien, MR62-93Y, born 1878.

    Johanna and Hannah are often interchangeable names in Irish records.

    4 years difference from the birth record to the age Hannah claimed later in life is very close, in Irish records.

    I would suggest you consider that your Hannah may be Johanna.

    You can see the full birth record here https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1878/02936/2075738.pdf
