Creator: O’Connor, John V.

x O’Connor, Sean

Level: Fonds

Administrative History: This collection is comprised of the papers of the O’Connor and O’Neill

families. The papers were retained and collected by Sean O’Connor in the course of his work on

constructing the O’Connor family tree as well as writing his memoir Growing Up So High (2013).

Sean O’Connor was born in 1938 at 15 Francis street, Dublin. He attended school at St. Francis’ street

Christian Brothers School, and went on to qualify as a chartered Engineer (1971), a Fellow of the

Institute of Structural Engineers (1973). Sean also became a member of the Irish Bar (1985), after

qualifying as a Barrister-at-Law. Despite Sean O’Connor being so called on his birth certificate, he is

also known as John Oliver and works professionally under the name John Vincent. He is known as

Sean by his family, therefore is that name that is used throughout this collection. The collection

contains all the documents of the O’Connor and O’Neill families accumulated by Sean.

Biographical history: The O’Connor family and the O’Neill family are both well-established

families who have lived in Dublin for over nine generations. The O’Connor family is the emphasis of

the collection. The surviving O’Connor family line began with the birth of James O’Connor (c.1753).

James married Mary Gavin, a direct descendant of John Tutty who was executed in the 1798

rebellion, and these two individuals are the common ancestors of the O’Connors on the family up to

2015. James and Mary O’Connor had eight children, four of which never married and three of which

are buried with their mother Mary at Mount Jerome cemetery, Dublin. Of eight of these children,

three became pivotal for the modern O’Connor family. The first of these was Christopher O’Connor,

who was born in 1888. Christopher left the Liberties to marry and moved to Portadown, county

Armagh. The second child was John O’Connor, born 1891, who lived with his wife Anne, nee

Sandham, at 21 Thomas street, Dublin. The third was William O’Connor, born 1875, who lived with

his wife Margaret, nee McDonnell at 142 Francis street, Dublin. This William O’Connor is the direct

ancestor of the O’Connor family to whom the collection mostly refers to after 1875. William and

Margaret O’Connor had a son; Thomas O’Connor married Ellen O’Neill in 1928. These were the

parents of Sean O’Connor. Ellen O’Neill was the daughter of John Joseph O’Neill and Ellen Howlett.

Ellen’s brother James (Jim) O’Neill, born in 1900, moved to Canada in 1924. Another of her brothers,

Christopher Joseph (Joe) O’Neill lived in Dublin and worked as a Marconi wireless operator on

international voyages, as a shopkeeper in the family butcher at 15 Francis street, as well as organiser

for the Fianna Fail party. Sean O’Connor’s siblings were: Billy, Margaret (Peg), Ellen (Nell), Thomas

(Tommy), Martha, Philomena, Barry, Rory (Roderick), Joe, Rita and Elizabeth Carmel (Eily).

Archival History: The fonds is part of a collection donated to the Dublin City Archive and Library,

144 Pearse Street, Dublin 2, by Sean O’Connor, creator of the collection. The date of acquisition is

2015.

Scope and Content: The collection is comprised of two main components. The first component is

material created during the lives of O’Connor and O’Neill family members. These include

correspondence, photographs, postcards and receipts. The correspondence and postcards in this

collection are typically between family members. Photographs include both originals and reprints and

are of various family occasions and events, beginning from the turn of the twentieth century. The

6

second component of the collection is comprised of secondary material created during the course of

research undertaken by Sean O’Connor. This material includes photocopies of birth, death and

marriage certificates, census return forms, photocopies of published articles and printed material from

genealogical sites. Included also is the complete family tree and Sean O’Connor’s memoir, Growing

Up So High (2013)

Arrangement: The collection has been arranged into three series, one for each family and the third

series for both families. The most complex of the series is that of the O’Neills, due to the large

volume of material. This series is broken into eleven sub-series dealing with births, deaths, marriages;

census returns photographs, bound material Joseph O’Neill and James O’Neill. The sub-series of

Joseph and James O’Neill are very large and contain a large volume of material. Therefore they are

divided into seven sub-sub series and five sub-sub series, respectively. Documents were found with a

loose order, based on general themes. This arrangement has mostly being adhered to as it gives a

better context to the papers. The collection was arranged chronologically, beginning with the earliest

documents of the birth and baptismal certificates of the O’Connors. The collection is organised

chronologically as this provides the sense of the passage of time throughout each generation of

O’Connor and O’Neill family.

Access Conditions: Due to data protection issues, access to the original file is closed in a small sub-

section of the collection, and in these cases access is allowed to a redacted digital version only by

appointment. These files are clearly noted on the descriptive list. The remainder of the collection is

available to view by public who apply for research card in Dublin City Lbrary and Archive Reading

Room, 138-144 Pearse street, Dublin 2 and no appointment is required
