I am searching for the origins of my Irish grandmother. The oldest known in her line are
Michael Burns b.abt.1814, perhaps from "Plumbridge Co. Tyron" and probably the son of Patrick Burns.
He immigrated about 1844.
He was married before arriving in Canada.
His spouse was Bridget Clark b.abt.1812 somewhere in Ireland.
Known children born in Ireland were
Mary b.abt. 1835
Patrick b.abt.1837
Catherine b.abt.1840
Michael b.abt.1841
