Because your inquiry was very vague in that no first names, specific dates or how the surnames you listed connected with one another, I checked the message boards and read some of the other posts you had written. When I found a post which mentioned that Mrs. Mary and Mrs. Margaret O'CONNOR were the daughters of Bernard BRADLEY and Mary MCGEOGHAN, I was able to find the ladies in the California Death Index:

O'Connor, Mary A.; born 2 February 1855; died in Santa Clara County on 30 October 1946; father's surname: BRADLEY; mother's maiden name: MCGEOGHEGAN (sp)

O'Connor, Margaret; born 18 August 1863; died in Santa Clara County on 24 October 1956; father's surname: BRADLEY; mother's maiden name: MCGOEHRGAN (sp)

With this information, I was able to find both Mary and Margaret in several federal censuses. Mary, the wife of Matthew O'CONNOR, had at least nine children and was listed in the 1900-1930 censuses in Santa Clara County. Some of her children were:

O'Connor, Nessie Elizabeth; born 11 November 1891; died in San Francisco County on 17 October 1954.
O'Connor, Mabel C.; born 28 March 1895; died in Santa Clara County on 2 April 1982.
O'Connor, Genevieve A.; born 26 October 1898; died in Santa Clara County on 7 April 1943.

This is the 1930 Census in San Jose, Santa Clara county, of Mary and several of her unwed adult children:

Mary A. O'Connor, age 75, born in Northern Ireland
Anna T. O'Connor, age 43, born in California
Nessie E. O'Connor, age 39, born in California
Kathryn L. O'Connor, age 37, born in California
Mabel C. O'Connor, age 35, born in California
Genevieve A. O'Connor, age 32, born in California
James J. O'Connor, age 41, born in California

Margaret had at least seven children with husband Patrick O'CONNOR, some of whom were:

O'Connor, Kenneth R.; born 29 October 1899; died in Santa Clara County on 16 February 1988
O'Connor, Jane A.; born 20 December 1901; died in Santa Clara County on 1 December 1993
O'Connor, Margaret Madeline; born 4 February 1904; died in Santa Clara County on 25 October 1990

Margaret too can be found in Santa Clara County from 1900-1930. This is her, along with two of her children, in San Jose in 1930:

Margaret O'Connor, age 66, born in Northern Ireland
Mary O'Connor, age 37, born in California
Kenneth O'Connor, age 30, born in California

I hope that you will find this information useful.
