hi I could hug you 2 lol.  You know more about my family than i do.  Where do you get the information from?

I have come across those names in my research but need to confirm if they are my Burkes.  I have a photo which belonged to My Grandma of a headstone for William Burkes of Huggate who died age 77 in 1923 and was married to Faith Burkes.

thank you
