Mrs Brown's Boys Family Tree - how are the cast related in real life?

-
Brendan O'Carroll's hit BBC series is a real family affair
When casting the Brown family, Mrs Brown's Boys creator Brendan O'Carroll didn't need to look far. In fact, he didn't have to look beyond his own living room.





The cast of the hit BBC comedy are mostly members of the comedy writer's family,but how are they all related?


Agnes Brown - Brendan O'Carroll


The titular mammy is the daddy of the family and father to Danny O'Carroll who plays Buster, and Fiona O'Carroll who plays Maria. His sister Eilish plays next door neighbour Winnie, his wife Jennifer plays daughter Cathy,and his real-life grandson, Jamie O'Carroll, 


Betty Brown – Amanda Woods


Mrs Brown's on-screen daughter-in-law is actually Brendan's daughter-in-law off screen too, as she's married to Buster (Danny O'Carroll) Brady in real life.
She's Maria (Fiona O'Carroll) Brown's sister-in-law, and she's mum to Bono (Jamie O'Carroll) Brown both on and off screen.


Bono Brown – Jamie O’Carroll


Mrs Brown's grandson, Bono, is Brendan O'Carroll's real-life grandson, Jamie O'Carroll.
His real mum (Amanda Woods) plays his on-screen mum, Betty Brown, while his dad is actually Buster Brady (Danny O'Carroll).
That makes him Maria (Fiona O'Carroll) Brown's nephew and Eilish O'Carroll's (Winnie) grand-nephew.


Trevor Brown – Martin Delany


Mrs Brown's youngest son is played by O'Carroll's son-in-law, Martin Delany, who is married to Fiona O'Carroll - his on-screen sister-in-law.
That makes him Buster's (Danny O'Carroll) brother-in-law and uncle to Bono (Jamie O'Carroll) Brown. 
Maria Brown – Fiona O’Carroll
Mrs Brown's on screen daughter-in-law Maria is actually Brendan's daughter, Fiona O'Carroll. That makes Jennifer Gibney (Cathy) her stepmum, Eilish O'Carroll (Winnie) her aunt and Buster (Danny O'Carroll) her brother.


Buster Brady - Danny O'Carroll


The on-screen troublemaker is Brendan O'Carroll's real-life son, making him Maria's (Fiona O'Carroll) real-life brother, Cathy's (Jennifer Gibney) stepson, and Winnie's nephew.
His wife, Amanda, plays Betty Brown, while his son, Jamie, is Bono Brown, and his real-life brother-in-law Martin Delany plays Mrs Brown's youngest son, Trevor.


Cathy Brown - Jennifer Gibney


Mrs Brown's on-screen daughter is actually Brendan O'Carroll's wife, making her Buster (Danny O'Carroll) and Maria's real-life stepmother and Bono's off-screen step-grandmother.
Winnie (Eilish) is her sister-in-law, Mrs Brown's son Trevor is her son-in-law by marriage, and Mark's wife Betty is her daughter-in-law by marriage.

Winnie McGoogan - Eilish O'Carroll


Next door neighbour Winnie may be Agnes' best pal on screen but in real life she's Brendan O'Carroll's sister.
Eilish is Maria (Fiona O'Carroll) and Buster's (Danny O'Carroll) real-life aunt, and Cathy aka Jennifer Gibney's sister-in-law, while her on-screen daughter Sharon, is actually Jennifer Gibney's off screen sister.She's also grand aunt to Bono Brown (Jamie Carroll)

Maria Brown – Fiona O’Carroll


Mrs Brown's on screen daughter-in-law Maria is actually Brendan's daughter, Fiona O'Carroll. That makes Jennifer Gibney (Cathy) her stepmum, Eilish O'Carroll (Winnie) her aunt and Buster (Danny O'Carroll) her brother.
Little Bono Brown is actually her nephew, Jamie, while her sister-in-law, Amanda Woods, is Betty Brown.

Oh, and her husband, Martin Delany, plays Mrs Brown's son Trevor.

    A chart might have been easier to follow than the text.

      In one of the episodes, Bono's friend is actually the real life son of Fiona O'Carroll (Maria Brown) & Martin Delany (Trevor Brown)
      Rory Cowan (Rory Brown) is not related to the O'Carroll's. He's a friend to Brendan O'Carroll.

      Blister Brady, Buster's son is also his son in real life....his and Amanda's (Betty). He's brother to Jamie (Bono). Hairdresser, Barbara (Emily Regan) is real life married to actor who plays Dermot (Paddy Houlihan). They have twin daughters. And finally, my last bit of info, Fiona Gibney (Sharon) is producer of BoCPix! And have you all noticed the dragonflies throughout the series'? Mostly towards the end, even though Agnes has always had a dragonfly on her mug. Brendan loves dragonflies and it's mad to see just how many things are dragonflies, Buster's tattoo, ( in the episode he's dressed as the Puck and Dermot is Shakespeare, you can see it on his arm.ive seen it as a keyring on the wash and blow keys that Agnes gives to Barbara, it's on many pillows and other little things too. I'm still finding new ones! But it's nice to see how little things like that are entwined in the episodes. It truly is a family show and I love her messages at the end. Hilarious antics and jokes throughout, you just can't go wrong watching Mr's Brown's Boys...and then rewatching and rewatching and rewatching! 🤣 Xmas special for 2023 coming in 19 days!! Yay!

    Hi, guys. Absolutely LOVE your show. I so very much wish you had made more of them. Here, in Canada we are so used to shows going for a number of years, rather than a number of episodes. I've watched every one of them three or four times, though. My favourite character is Buster. He's always got his heart in the right place... Well, mostly.

Is Mrs Brown coming to Canada?

In 2018 marks a new beginning for potential of bringing the live shows to more parts of the world.  Good Morning Mrs Brown has been a massive hit for 2017. A phenomenal success. Time to shake things up.   Rory Cowan previously said. "That will be our third visit to Australia in four years and there's no challenge left. I would love if Brendan had said we were going Canada where I know we're very popular but it just seems that it's gone into a rut for me - of doing the same venues and staying in the same accommodations.' Do you think the recent leave of Rory Cowan will spark interest for Brendan O'Carroll to bring the show to Canada?
