William farmed in Kilbaha North.  

In the 1901 census there's a return for the household of Kate O'Connor, also of Kilbaha North. She's the only one listed for the household, and her occupation is "agricultural labourer". The writing on the census is too faint to make out her age. She's not listed in the Kilbaha returns in 1911. If she wasn't related to our O'Connor family perhaps she was connected to Patrick O'Connor who moved to Kilbaha from Shronebeirne, Duagh in the mid-19th century (see notes for Patrick O'Connor, father of William above).
