Burns/Morgan
« on: Saturday 09 November 13 15:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi Hoping someone maybe able to help.I'm trying to trace my family tree and this is what I've come up with so far.My Grandmother Mary Catherine Burns of Killyleagh Co.Down married Peter McCormick of Moymore.They married in Killyleagh R/C Church on 2nd Dec 1916 they had 5 children (don't need the childrens information).Mary died in 1979,Peter died in 1981 both had seperated years earlier


Marys father was John Burns a farmer who came from Inch Co.Down he married Elizabeth Morgan of Killyleagh. They were married in Crossgar R/C Church on the 2nd Nov 1892 and they had 4 children Thomas Joseph,Mary Catherine(my grandmother), Hugh John and Anthony.In the 1911 census John is listed as a widower not sure when she died she is buried in Killyleagh, John died in 1939 also buried in Killyleagh.

Johns father was also called John.
Not Sure if this is Johns Fathers family in the 1901 (John Burns in 29 in Annacloy,Inch,Down with his Wife Alice and 6 children)  :-\

Elizabeths father was Patrick Morgan not sure where he lived,the marriage information that I have says Elizabeth lived in Killyleagh but can't understand why they married in Crossgar  :-\

For reference, taking this as the John and Alice Burns family in 1901 ...

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Down/Inch/Annacloy/1228622/

... there are a couple of records to parents John Burns and Alice Dornan (Doran) in the familysearch "Ireland Births and Baptisms, 1620-1881" collection which would "fit":

Patrick, born Downpatrick 1871: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FP1Y-Z99

Richard, born Downpatrick 1874: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F5D6-QV3

Other children to this couple include:

Alice, born Downpatrick 1866: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F5SS-XM9

Sarah, born Annacloy 1876: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGV6-TS4

Catherine, born Annacloy 1879: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGJW-X5X

Oh, and John Burns, born Downpatrick 1864: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F5YQ-BHM

I suppose it is a possibility, worth noting until you can rule in or out.
