I am a looking for the family Bourke . I am planning to come to Ireland and I would like to see where my family came from
My ancestor’s name is William Bourke. He was born in 1817 and supposedly born in Tipperary. His parents were James Burke, born about 1780 in Tipperary and Judith Ryan, born about 1800 and Tipperary.
He married Johanna Joyce, born in 1823, in Tipperary Maybe. She’s the daughter of William Joyce and Mary Tracy.
His siblings were Mathias Burke born 1818, Edward Burke about 1819, Julieta Burke born 1832. Not sure where she was born, Timothy J Burke about 1834 he died in 1917 in Tipperary, Michael Burke born about 1836 and Tipperary died 1911 in Galway, Johanna Burke “ may have been adopted out.” Nothing else is known about her
I would really appreciate some help. Thank you in advance.

I've searched on two subscription sites and have not located the baptismal record for William Bourke or his siblings.
You mentioned the 1917 death record for Timothy Bourke. I found a possible record but is was in Co. Limerick close to the Co. Tipperary border. See last record at this link
I believe this is the 1911 census record for the family.

Can you confirm if this is your Timothy Bourke?

His birth and death dates are the same. Since he died near Tipperary, it is very possible.
I have no information about his family at all, so I can't verify that information. If I could find siblings or any other info.
Thanks for checking that for me.
And so quickly too!!
