Owen Horris is Dermot's 3rd great grandfather and we have very little information about him.
Birth
In Ireland, possibly about 1811, if it is the same as his wife Ann Donnelly
Marriage
No record found, but probably about 1832, as this is the year that their son Cornelius was born

Living in Ireland, son Cornelius born, but no birth or baptism record found, the year is taken from the census records

Living in Drogheda, Co Meath, Ireland. Son Augustine baptised in St Mary's, Drogheda
21 December 1848
Living in Drogheda, Co. Meath, Ireland. Daughter Ann baptised in St. Mary's Drogheda
Death
Sometime between1848 (birth of daughter Ann) and 1861 (on the 1861 census, Owen's wife Ann is listed as widow)
The family moved from Ireland to Liverpool sometime between 1848 and 1861. I cannot find any mention of them in the 1851 census. Cornelius Horris was married in Liverpool in 1853, but this does not tell us if all of the family were in Liverpool at that time. In 1861, they are living in Liverpool and Owen's wife Ann is a widow. So far, I do not know if Owen moved to Liverpool or whether he died in Ireland, I have not been able to find a death record in either place.
