Hello Mogue,
Thanks for all that information about my Great-Grand parents and their siblings - and the photo too!
It was nice to be able to show my mother the gravestone of her grand parents and the place where they are from and lived.
Regarding my Grand Father James (b.1902), He married Ellen (nee Manley) and they lived inside the Collins Barracks at Dillion's Cross in Cork, James was a Provost Sergeant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collins_Barracks,_CorkThey had 5 children whilst they lived in the barracks, all girls. The first was born in 1933 and the last in 1944. There was a RC church inside the Barracks's too where I understand the children were baptised.
Ellen was originally from Limerick but I don't know the story of how she and James met, but I did find an entry for their marriage in the civil registrations index (for the registration district of Limerick) in 1932.
In about 1948 the family moved to England, they lived in the city of Bradford in the County of West Yorkshire. There Ellen died in 1957 at the age of 50 and James Died in 1979 at the age of 76.
Thanks for the link to the Swords Kinsella thread, there is some very interesting information in there too, I shall be investigating the links to the online parish records to see if anything turns up. I am a bit confused by the references to the Margaret that married three times though, if she was our Margaret then wouldn't one of her three husbands have been called Burke? I see all three husbands have been named on the thread by one of her descendants on the thread - but none of them are Burke? How can this Margaret be Margaret Mythen (or even Margaret Swords)?
To date I have been using the "Ancestry" web site, as a member, for researching and building up the Burke family tree and for doing record searches online, but I have not gotten so far with that. Hopefully these parish records will give me some new leads.
It would be great to see any more photos if you have them and thanks again for your help!
Regards and bye for now,
Patrick.
