4. Census: 1901 Census of Eliza O'Brien and 3 sons but not Thomas, 31 Mar 1901, Glenawinna, Aghnameadle, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹²⁶² Note that son Thomas is NOT on this Census return because he is married with three sons and recorded accordingly in Garrane, Latteragh, Tipperary

5. Census: 1911 Census of Ireland, 2 Apr 1911, Garrane, Latteragh, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹⁵⁶ On this Census, Thomas is shown with his wife Mary and three sons as before plus two labourers, John Maher and John Eagen. He is a farmer in Garrane, Latteragh and aged 55, which is not in accord with the age given on the 1901 Census (42). I am not sure which Census, if either, is correct. This event was shared with James O'BRIEN, Mary O'MEARA, Patrick Joseph O'BRIEN, and William O'BRIEN.
