Mary Bourke and JD Bourke of Abington

Just a few questions , might narrow things down ?

Do you know what JD Stands for ??

When did they emigrate?

Was the son Thomas born in Ireland or Canada and was there any other children ?

P.S Cant see the photos maye send them to murroe@irelandxo.com

Thanks

Hi Aine

Yes, "JD" stands for James Daniel. We believe they emigrated in the early 1860's. Thomas was born in America and there were other children, Catherine being one of them.

Also, did you say you cant see the photos?

Thanks

Grand will have alook in the records!

Nope the photos are not showing up on the page .

Great, I also sent the photo of the Bourke headstone to the email address that you had provided, hopefully it will show up.

Thanks

As mary was 54 when she died she was born ~ 1819 

I found 2 Mary's marrying 2 James' Bourke around the right time

• James Bourke and Mary Mininhan mar 8 oct 1838 sp Michael Bateman and Mary Frail

No children found for this marriage

• James Bourke and Mary Russell mar 04 Feb 1845 sp Matthew Duhy and Michael Costello

2 children ound for this marriage but father is down  as John and one is born before the marriage so  not sure abot this ??? There was no marriage for a John and Mary Russell.

1. Catherine bap 1844


2. Catherine bap 1852

John Bourke and Mary Russell

1.Does this mean James Bourke also went by the name of John?

2. Was there a child also named James?

Thanks

I have seen this mistake a few times where the name of either the bride or groom is different to that on their children baptismal records. it hard to say for definite which is correct .It can be a bit confusing

Nope there are only 2 children recorded to them . They prob had there children after they left Ireland.

Just to let you know that we are currently recording the graveyard in abington and we came across a pre 1800  Bourke  gravestone alon with a few others.they  will be avaiable to be searched over the next few weeks. so keep an eye out!

also i think there is fairly old burke heastone in clonkeen graveyard also available on the same site.

Dear IrelandXO,

While traveling from the USA through the area of Adare Ireland a few years ago one of my Irish cousins brought me to the old Churchyard at Adare Manor Golf Club. The Old Parish Church grounds on the property of the Adare Manor are now a family buring place for the Quin family.  They showed me a tomb stone attached to the Old Parish Church and said this is our Irish family my great great great grandfather.  The name Pat Quain (died 1809) is on the stone which is my name Pat Quain.  I have wondered how my family is in the family burial site with the Quin's? 

If anyone has a family tree that provides a connection between the Quin's and Quain's I would love to see it.  My wife Donna and I plan to travel to Ireland and would like to know more about the Quain's that lived in Ireland, especially around Limerick.

Hi Patrick

Murroe is a completely different parish to Adare and in another part of Limerick , you might have more luck if you post you query on the Adare Parish page.
