Not enough information is provided. Where was the sampler found?

with various people on Community looking into it - I think there is enough information that a persistent person among various could indeed solve the mystery.

Names that start with O are much much less common then other names - and exact birth dates are given

I believe this is an American creation. or possibly British. Technically I dont think it is a sampler - but is similar enough that it would often be categorized with samplers.

I have had similar items that people were able to find the corresponding family.

I believe that the information provided - is enough that with a persistent and consistent search - the family could be identified.
