George Burke

[Tineke]

Please can anyone help find my great grandfathers brother George Burke.  b 1870 Wirral,Sheffield
I have him on all census up to,1891 , then he seems to dissapear .
He was baptised 4/1/1871 at St Vincent of Paul Sheffield. Parents John Burke and Anne Burke nee Bramhall.    In the 1891 census he is at his brothers home in Shirebrook Derbyshire.   His brother William Henry Burke.  Is head of the house.   After this the trail goes cold.  Any help greatly appreciated.  Many thanks Tineke

Are his parents alive in 1911?  The census there should state how many of their children are still alive so you could at least see if he is still around or not.

I have already tried the 1911 census with no result .  His mother died in 1882.  His father who was Irish. remarried and returned to Ireland with the youngest son Hugh Burke.   Father died in Ireland in 1911.    I have the 1911 and 1901 Irish census. George is not there only Hugh with half siblings from the second marriage.   As I said after the census in Shirebrook in 1891. he seems to have dissapeared.       There are some George Burke’s around.  but nothing to say it is the one I am looking for. Thanks Tineke

Hi

Had a quick look and he was registered George Hulehan Burke 1870 at Wortley.

I cannot find him after 1881 census but a George H. Burke born 1870 appears in America but don't have access to America records

The George H Burke options in America appear to have been born there.

Thanks for your replies.  I had kept the George Hulehan Burke on file just in case  His baptism is in Latin and does not mention Hulehan.  It states. Georgius Burke.   Father  Johannis Burke. Mother Annae Bramhall.      I see that George. H Burke was born in America so that rules that out.    I can no
Longer access overseas.   I think it would be a good idea to get a birth certificate .George is the only brother I have no information on.  ,I would love to find out what happened to him.   Thanks to you all. Tineke

Hi

I saw the other GRO transcription so I looked at the page and it looks like Huleham.

The Latin baptism usually indicates they were Catholic and parents are John & Ann.

Hi

A George H. Burke is in the death registers 1934 Lambeth born 1871.

There is a George Burke in London born 1870 but it looks like he dies 1929.

Could George H. Burke have been in Army/Navy or worked in India
