O'Connell of Andover Massachusetts

Seeking help with a ten-year roadblock. We have a lot of information on John O’Connell, b ca 1825 in Ireland, son of Jeremiah O’Connell and Bridget (?) but we've been unable to connect John to parents named Jeremiah and Bridget in Ireland. We can't find his birthplace!! This is what we do know:

John emigrated to Lawrence Massachusetts ca 1846, married Mary Horan in Lawrence in 1850 and settled in Andover Massachusetts. (Reportedly John emigrated with four brothers but I have found no record of any of them.) Mary Horan was born ca 1825 in Buttevant, County Cork, Ireland and was the daughter of Charles and Mary Horan. John and Mary had eight children including Bridget (Abercrombie), Charles J., William, John A., David, Arthur, George and Mary Jane (Warden). The family lived in Andover Massachusetts until John and Mary’s deaths in 1896.
