Burke's of Mounthoward

[Westy]

Hi
I have been researching my Grandad, John (Jack) Burke b1908 and his parents Patrick b1800 & Margaret (Maggie) Mythen b 1881. I have recently received a copy of the 1911 Census for him and have found out the names of his siblings for the first time.
Patrick b 1902
James b 1903
Charles b 1906
Maggie b 1909
They lived in Mounthoward Lower, Monamolin, Gorey Co. Wexford.
My Grandad died in 1997 and until I started my quest no one in the family knew anything about his Irish family at all, which is funny seeing that he had 6 children. Does anybody out there know of the family or better still are doing research as well and may have any of them in their tree. I would really appreciate any infomation as living in the UK it is very hard to do any kind of research.
Cheers
Westy

Irish civil registrations (1845-1958) went on-line this week (February 2009).  You can search for individuals or just surnames at:

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347

I too have families originating in Ferns and Camolin and Ballycanew and Gorey etc etc, but no Burkes it would appear.

Good luck.

My grandfather John (Jack) Burke had a brother called Patrick born in 1902 and his parents were Patrick b1880 and Maggie Mythen b1881 they were married in Boolavogue Catholic Church in 1900. If you can find out his parents name then we may have a match. My grandad came to the UK somewhen in the 1920's / 1930's and married Lily Hutchings. The other children were James,Charles & Margaret. It would be great if there was a link

Thanks deepthinker for the link to the new on-line Irish records I have found a few names but now have to find out how to view the records !!

The familysearch website does not have the record details to go with the index,
if you find a promising record on the index search you can use the details to order a cert form the GRO - see thier website : www.groireland.ie

they will require the name, year & quarter, registration district, volume no. & page

Hello!

I have just found out some informtion from my mother about my Grandfather Patrick Burke.
He was Born in September 1905 in Townland-Ballytracey-The barony is Gorey and the Parish is Kilcormick and the PLU is Enniscorthy,Co Wexford.
His Parents Where Michael Burke And annie Leary both living In Ballytracey.
Perhaps My Michael Burke could be related to yours as think my Grandfather may not fit in as he was born in 1905 excact!
I am very aware that Boleyvogue is very near Ballytracey so there must be a connection with my Burkes and yours?
I am sorry i don't have any further Info apart from the above and all that i have already posted on here?

hope to recieve a reply from you soon....it would be interesting to see if our Burkes are related in some way?

Regards
