Hi Max,

Sorry, I'm not a descendant of Zachariah Darby. My grandfather Henry 'Harry'
Darby was a Barnardo Home Child who came to Ontario in 1903 from England at
the age of 9. I hadn't run across Zachariah before or any Darbys in this
area, although I wasn't really looking prior to 1903 either, quite
interesting. I'm afraid I don't have anything on the O'Briens except for
what you saw on the Census records I listed.

Thanks for inquiring though.
