Bilston records are on line here
http://www.wolverhamptonhistory.org.uk/resources/indexes
There is a baptism for a Sarah Bryan on 2nd June 1805 to John and Mary.
Also John OBrian baptised on 17 May 1807 to John and Mary. No other OBrians. or Bryans - but there are Brians, as mentioned above.

is there a possibility that he dropped the O' ?

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JW41-4DM

Name: John Obrian
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 17 May 1807
Christening Place: BILSTON,STAFFORD,ENGLAND
Father's Name: John Obrian
Mother's Name: Mary
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C01056-2

1807 in Bilston would match

and it seems likely that the same couple had several other children recorded as Brian:

Sarah 1805
Mary Anne 1806
James 1806
Thomas 1809
Joseph 1810
(all are christening dates)

'Obrian' could be a simple transcription error as well ... no image is available at familysearch

Looking at the map it looks like Bilston and Dudley are only about 5 miles apart.
