My great-grandmother Sarah Burke and her parents/family lived in Galway City until the mid-1860s, on Middle St., William St. and Lower Abbeygate St. Her father John Burke ran a pub and brewery. Her brother Stephen Burke married a Barrett in Moycullen. I am traveling to Ireland next month. I would love to connect with anyone who knows the history of that area and family.

Hi
Would they have any connection to the Burkes of Co. Limerick. My Great great Great Grandparents James and Mary Burke born 1813 and 1819 are from Abington Civil parish, Co Limerick and are buried in Chicago.
Stay in touch

As far as I know mine were only in the Galway/Mayo area. They emigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1860s.
