What is the last census you have them on as a couple?  What was Bridget’s birthyear & where was she born?

The only Thomas & Bridget Burke on the 1901 have children born before 1891 - some in Ireland

When did Thomas go to the USA?

Did Bridget re-marry?

Re Bridget’s death - have you looked on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk as that is the only place to find her death

Can't easily see Bridget and Thomas in the 1901 census  :-\  Have you got your grandfather Edmund's birth cert to check date and address where he was born?

Did you view the marriage of Thomas and Bridget to be able to confirm their parents' names?

From just the index for 1911 on SP, there is this household in the Gorbals area of Glasgow:

Bridget 48
John 28
Margaret 22
Mary 18
Annaliza 13
Edmand 11 (name as indexed)

You would need to view the original image for the details.

This would fit with this 1901 census, except Bridget is showing as Mary:

Thomas Burke 34 engineman b. Ireland
Mary Burke 35 b. Ireland
John Burke 17 b. England
Joseph Burke 14
Annelza Burke 12
Margaret Burke 11
Mary Burke 8
Edmond Burke 2 (months?)

Address: 14 Florence St, Hutchesontown Glasgow

Again, viewing the original image would help!

Was Bridget Thomas's second wife? If they only married in 1891, I think this is them on the 1891 census:

Thomas Bourke 26 engineman b. Ireland
Bridget Bourke 29 b. Ireland
John Bourke 8 b. England
Patrick J Bourke 5 (maybe Joseph in later census) b. Glasgow
Margaret Bourke 1 b. Glasgow

Address: 580 B Springburn Rd, Dennistoun Glasgow
