It is possible that Catherine Burke is my great-grandmother. I believe she was born around 1830 to John and Julia Burke in Ireland Catherine emigrated to the US in 1849, from Galway. Catherine Burke married Thomas Kenney on August 6, 1854 in Boston. In the 1860 census (Boston, Ward 2), Thomas (34) and Catherine (28) have two children, William E. (4) & Edward (2). Also in household: Julia Burke (70) and Ellen Burke (24), both born in Ireland. I believe Ellen emigrated the year after Catherine did.
This is all the information I have been able to gather. I am interested in learning where the Burke family lived in Ireland.
