trying to find information
they came from Melbourne, Australia. Dont know when , but the only information I have is they had the following children Catherine, Evaline (sp), Albert, Annie, Joseph and a possible Frank?
The last 4 names are not 100% certain, as my 84yo nana gave me them tonite, but the first 2 are.
I know John was a Grocer, they had been in Auckland/Whangarei area.
There was a Frank BOURKE living in Hawera that was related to them, but I dont have any other information.
But these are her Gt Grandparents and Gt aunts and uncles so she doesn't really now, and she is 84years old herself.
I only know 2 definate names which is the her grandmother was: Katherine Marie BOURKE and she married Abraham Linnell in 1896 (it was on this marriage certificate that I got the parents names of John and Mary Ann. They had another daughter Evelyn Marguerita BOURKE who married William Bullians in 1908, they had no children.
My nana said she 'thinks' there was an Albert (uncle Bert), Joseph (Uncle Joe), ? Frank and a sister Annie.
