Marriage Notes for ARCHDALL BURTCHAELL and MARY HOWITT:
The paternity of Margaret B. Burtchaell as recorded here is conjectural. The baptismal register of the Duiske Abbey Church (Catholic) in Graiguenamanah records the baptism of a Margaret B. Burtchaell). born 28/3/1852 to “Archbold” Burtchaell and Mary Howitt. The father’s given name is quite unusual, and fits ill with all the Murphys and Corcorans and other conventionally Catholic names with which the clan of Catholic Burtchaells in Graig intermarried. It may well be a confusion for Archdall Burtchaell, son of Augusta Bym and Patrick Burtchaell. Archdall was born in November 1824 and would have been 27 at the time of Margaret’s birth. He was one of those who later emigrated to Canada and did not return.
He is reported as having married a woman named Gore. This is mentioned because of a longstanding recollection among the Catholic Burtchaells from Graig that one of the Protestant Burtchaells had gotten a local Catholic girl pregnant.

Child of ARCHDALL BURTCHAELL and MARY HOWITT is:
MARGARET B BURTCHAELL, b. 28 March 1852, Graiguenarnanagh.
Notes for MARGARET B. BURTCHAELL:
See Archdall Burtchaell, Marriage/More, conjectured to be Margaret’s possibly illegitimate father. The Abbey Church (Caholic parish) in Graiguenamanagh preserves registers that go back only to the early nineteenth century. A Margaret B. appears in those Catholic registers as the daughter born to “Archbold” Burtchaell and Mary Howitt in 1852 and presented for baptism. A subsequent marriage at the age of 29 and the birthing of 6 children by the age of 38 suggests that this young woman fit very naturally into the Catholics of Graiguenamanagh.
Children of ARCHDALL BURTCHALLL and ? GORE are:
SARA BURTCHAELL, d. unm..
Notes for SARA BURTCHAELL:

? BURTCHAELL, m. ‘? SMITH.
Notes for ? BURTCHAELL:
J.G. Peters, her son-in-law, reports her and her sister. She had at least one daughter, his wife.
ANNA ELIZA BURTCHAELL. b. 20 September 1857; m. RICHARD TRUAX, 13 October 1886, Church of the Ascension, Toronto, Ontario; b. 19 August 1848; d. 17 March 1899.
Notes for ANNA ELIZA BURTCHAELL:
Anna Eliza Burtchaell appears frequently in genealogical reports because of the Truax family. As a Burtchaell in Ontario, at this age, she must be one of the daughters of Archdall, especially since her first son, b. 2 December 1888, was Harold Archdall Truax.
