Edward BURKE Born 1808 in Loughrea, Galway Parents/Grandparents?

[ben170292]

Hi,

I have always struggled with researching Irish ancestors and was hoping some people could help me find information on Edward's parents/grandparents.

Here is the information I have.

Edward Burke Born 27 Aug 1808 in Loughrea, Galway (possible father's name is John)

He immigrated to England some time before 1847.

He married Margaret Mary Madden (b1826 d1911) in St George Southwark, London, England (her father is also from Galway, Thomas Madden b about 1798)

In the 1851 English census he was living in Islington, Middlesex as a trade warder.

They had 4 children all born in Middlesex-
William Henry Burke 1848-1889
Louisa Agnes Burke 1849-1871
Joseph Edward Burke 1856-?
Lucy Jane Burke 1857-?

They all lived in Clerkenwell, Middlesex in the 1861 England census

they immigrated to Australia and arrived in Melbourne on 30 Jan 1862

He died on 22 Sep 1885 in Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Im aware this was posted a long time ago, I am searching for info on a Mary Burke from the same area at the same time. I wonder if there is a connection.
