Suggest you search AUS passenger rcds. They usually list the names and ages of all passengers arriving. My analysis below is crude without relatively precise dates.

I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.

Note 1 - Without a KNOWN parish, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.

Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.

Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).

For John O'Reilly B 1842 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Philip, I found 15 rcds.

For Pat(rick) O'Reilly B 1842 ditto, I found 15 rcds.

The only common county of birth for John and Patrick is Co. Meath. This correlation doesn't fit your info well.

Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
