Papa

John Rourke/O'Rourke is a very common name in Ireland. Do you know his parent's names?

Hi,   John and Christopher's father was Matthew and his Mother was Elizabeth Piggott.
In the 1911 Census he was an assistant in a Public House in 5 in Lord Edward Street (Wood Quay, Dublin) ran by Healy.   
 

I believe there may have been another brother born after my papa went to Scotland. Those are the names I also have for my papas families. My dad was also called Matthew 

Hello orourke2006,

What records do you have, either from Ireland or Scotland, showing that John Rourke/O'Rourke's parents were Matthew and Elizabeth Piggott?
