From the 1911 census it says that Michael and Margaret had 11 children, 5 of whom died before 1911. In 1895 they had a baby girl and called her Margaret. Unfortunately this baby died aged 15 months.  In 1898 they had another baby girl and again called her Margaret. This Margaret known as Maggy went on to inherit the house and farm. Maggy worked as a mental health nurse in the 1930s. The O'Brien family were politically active and were involved in the War of Independence. During which the local IRA staged an ambush at the bottom road on  O'Brien's farm. They waited for two days for a patrol of British Soldiers to pass. They never showed up and the ambush was called off. In the early 1900’s the O'Brien family paid for a new window in the local church in memory of Michael and Margaret.
