WILLIAM BURNS & BRIDGET Byrnes

[aussie-girl]

I am helping a friend research her family.
We believe William Burns married Bridget Byrnes in Wicklow on the 12 th August 1851.
Their first child was born in Adelaide South Australia in 1853.
Would also like to find when they left Ireland
many Thanks

The rest of the children were all born in Victoria
It is the marraige in Ireland I am after  & when they left Ireland.

OBITUARY. LATE MRS. B. BURNS......funeral.........widow of the late Mr. William BURNS, of Lower Huntly........resident of Huntly for about 65 years........native of Wicklow, Ireland......... left
four sons and five daughters.

The coffin-bearers were Messrs. B. FARRELL, G. FARRELL, J. FARRELL (three grandsons), and G.
FARRELL (nephew). The Rev. Father Murphy read the burial service.

Is that just an error, or.......does Bridget BURNS, died 1917, have a FARRELL nephew....alive, living in Victoria at 1917?
