Johanna Burke who married Patrick Fanning

Kirsty,

Maybe- Carrick on Suir is on the edge of Waterford and Tipperary. Per RootsIreland (paid), Johnna and Patricks' son, born in 1866, civil record is Tipperary and Church record is Waterford. Their daughter Anna, 1870, Church baptized in, SS PETER & PAUL PARISH,CLONMEL

On Johanna's marriage record she is identified as Joanne and Joanna. The marriage is registered in both Waterford and Tipperary Counties.

There is a Johanna Burke registered in both Waterford and Tipperary, Church- SS Peter and Paul, baptized May 22, 1939, parents'- James Burke and Mary (Maria) Connors.

Regards- Mary

Kirsty,

One of the witnesses to Patrick and Johanna's wedding was Margaret Connors.

Kirsty,

 I checked RootsIreland and Ancestry and did not find a Johanna Burke with mother, Mary Nelson. One tree on Ancestry suggests that her mother's name was Johanna.

Hi there everyone, thank you all for your information that you have provided. Is there a way of me knowing for sure If the Johanna Burke born to Mary Connor’s and James Burke is the correct one ? I did find a Johanna born to a Mary Nelson but the Father is a Patrick Madden, 

Birth of Anne

Kirsty,

Do you know if Johanna had any siblings? Have you taken a DNA test?

Regards- Mary

Kirsty,

 A correction- I previously had Johanna's possible birth year as 1939. It should be 1839.

Possible brother from RootsIreland, James Burke, baptism 10 May 1840, Powerstown Parish, Tipperary, parents- James Burke and Maria Connors.

Powerstown is in the Waterford/ Lismore Diocese, County Tipperary per the NLI Catholic Registry

Regards- Mary

Hi Mary 

yes I have taken DNA test but it’s too confusing to try work out. 
 

im not sure if Johanna had any siblings.  The records that I had found gave Johanna all different Ages. The only consistent information was the fathers name being James Burke,  In funeral home record he was a coach driver and in marriage to second husband he was a farmer, but his Name is James Burke

Hi there everyone thank you all for your help. I still haven’t got any closer to figuring out this brick wall in my family tree.
