I was wrong. A newly found Quinn cousin identified him as John "Jackie" O'Brien son of Nora Quinn and John O'Brien Sr. The cousin remembered the photo as it hung for years on her Aunt Nora's wall.
This cousin was born in 1932 and knows so much about the Quinn family living in NYC. If I had found her 20 years earlier, I wouldn't have had to do so much research to find family.
John "Jack" O'Brien Jr. was my father-in-law's second cousin. Honor "Nora" Quinn was the daughter of Andrew Quinn and Margaret Flannagan of Caheravoneen, Kinvara, County Galway. Andrew Quinn was the brother of William Quinn (#1) who also lived in Carheravoneen.
This wonderful cousin also talked about Nora's sisters, Bridget "Delia" Quinn and Mary Quinn Sarsfield both of who lived in New York. The list below shows the names of Andrew Quinn and Margaret Flanagan's children as found at the Galway Family History Center.
Mary Quinn was born on October 19, 1884.
