Thanks Jack. I've not heard those names before in our family tree, but that doesn't mean they're not related :) Not sure where they fit in but would be interesting to research.

Wow thanks Shane! I appreciate all the info you found. I'll have to see if I can find out what denomination they were. But the Abraham you found sounds about right. The other potential brothers are possible too as those are very popular names on our tree :)

Offaly (Kings) / Burgess family LOOK UP please

Hi all,

I have hit a brick wall on my family tree and wondered if anyone might know information or be able to look it up for me. Here is what i have:

Robert Burgess(b. 1795 - d. 1849) Tipperary, Ireland (possibly born in Castle Otway Lodge in Templederry?) Has brothers named Abraham (b. 1788), John (b. 1790) and Thomas (b. 1791).
Robert was married to Jane Hayes (b. 1790 - d. 1886) Roscrea, Tipperary County, Ireland.
Robert and Jane had 2 sons that i know of: Abraham Burgess (b. 1833) Offaly, Ireland and William Burgess (b. 1835 in Milltown Lodge, Anaville, Ireland and d. 1886 in Shinrone, Offaly, Ireland)
Abraham Burgess immigrated to New Zealand in 1865 on the Ernestina. I have most of the info from that point on. William's wife Maria Ann West immigrated to the U.S. (Connecticut) with their children in 1891 or 93? and i have a little info on that also.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find info on Robert Burgess and Jane Hayes? I have tried searching as far as i could but have hit a dead end. I think it's tough too because they were born in the 1700's and records don't seem to exist before 1845. But if anyone knows anything i would be so grateful. Baptisms, Marriages, Births, Burials...ANYTHING!

Thanks so much :)
