Cork / Re: Burke Family from Cork
« on: Monday 20 April 15 02:45 BST (UK) »
Hi,
In response to the gburke post. Daniel Burke is my husbands gr grandfather. Married Mary Curry, Mallow, Cork. Emigrated to the U.S. 1884. On Daniel's marriage record, naturalization record and death record, he lists his father's name as John. Nowhere does he state his mother's name. Some of the sibling information that you have came off of an 1880 U.S. Census and cannot be true as that was prior to Daniel coming to the U.S. by approx. 4 yrs. Nor do any of those names follow the Irish naming convention for Daniel and Mary's children. I have visited burial location on several occasions. He never lived in Boston either. I have documented/sourced all of the information. If you have a proven connection, would appreciate hearing from you.
