Hi Kenneth

There are numerous Burk(e) households in Midlothian at that time. What names do you have to help in identifying them?

Hi Kenneth

Still struggling here. For the period you are looking for, 1830-1855, in Midlothian. I can only see this family but the Patrick and Margaret look to be siblings rather than husband and wife (I've also tried with Peter which is a common variant of Patrick):

Alice Gartland 45, b. Ireland
Patrick Burk 19, son, fruit dealer b. Edinburgh
Margaret Burk 14, daughter, fruit dealer b. Edinburgh

Address: No specific address showing except for Edinburgh Lady Yester

This family also show in 1841:

Alleson Burk 40, b. Ireland
Catharine Burk 13
Patrick Burk 10
Margaret Burk    7

The only other Patrick showing in 1841 in Midlothian, is a Patrick, 20, a nailer with a Catherine, 18, both born in Ireland, and child Jane 7 months at Grassmarket 105 (cowies Land).

Address: 24 College Wynd, Edinburgh Old Greyfriars


What would probably help here Kenneth is a little bit more info on what you know. When do you think they married and est. birth years. Do you have the maiden surname for Margaret? Any names for their children that you may know and est. birth year(s)?

Mary b:1824
Thomas b:1826
Alexander b: 1829
Mary Ann b: 1832
Margaret Gordon b: 18 Dec 1835 (My Great Great Grandmother)
Robert b: 1839

Thomas m Jamet Afflect on the 14 Sept 1847-10 Children
Alexander m Ann Lavin on the 3 Jun 1859-5 Children
Mary Ann m Hugh Brown on the 23 Nov 1851-3 Children
Margaret m George Gordon Mackay on the 13 Dec 1864-8 Children

Don't know if this helps but if anyone has any other information on these families the information would be greatly appreciated.
