Looking for another set of great grandparents

 Name:            Andrew Burke                                                                     Anne (Nee Kenney) Burke

 Birth                   1819                                                                                                              ?                            

Marriage                ?                                                                                                                 ?

Death              Aug. 14, 1908, Atherton, Lancashire, England                                          ?

                         This date is debatable (See Below)         

Father              Myles Burke (Found in 1850 Griffiths Eval. In Cartronroe )                   ?

Mother                   ?                                                                                                                 ?

Did Andrew or Anne  have any siblings?

I found their children all born in Cartronroe (Lavalee) Tuam Galway, Ireland

                                                       Patrick  Burke     March 21, 185 (  My grandfather)

                                                       Mary Burke          Sept. 28, 1854

                                                       John Burke           June 10, 1855

                                                       Ellen Burke           June 9, 1859

                                                       Honoria Burke      Nov. 20, 1862

                                                       Bridget Burke    between 1862 and 1864

Four of the children immigrated to the USA.  Patrick to NYC, John, Ellen and Honoria to Western Massachusetts.  Bridget immigrated to Australia and Mary was the only one who stayed in Ireland.  Mary married Edmond Hughes in Cartronroe June 26, 1879.  I found Mary and her family in the 1901 and 1911 Irish Census living on the family farm in Cartronroe now called Lavalee.  Upon Andrew’s death (Aug 12, 1909 in Tuam?) Administration of his Estate was granted at Tuam to Mary Hughes Married Woman.

Anne Kenney Burke is said to be buried in an old church cemetery in Barnaderg, Killerinin as is Mary Burke Hughes, a young boy and possibly Andrew Burke.  Andrew’s body is supposed to have been returned to Ireland for burial.  The cemetery is located between Killererin and Taum where older parish members may have been buried.

I would be most appreciative of any help in locating  the above information.   Thanks,
