I am trying to find more information regarding the parents of Mary Burke. Her parents were called Michael born abt 1871 who married Sarah Walsh.born abt 1871. I have the wedding certificate and the names of their fathers are both Patrick, but thats as much as I know. Does anyone know how I can trace back further?
Regards
Debbi

you can search an Irish Civil Index on familysearch at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347 - but given fairly common surnames it might be difficult to track down the right people. Do you know the occupations of the two Patricks ?
If you find good matches you can order certs from the GRO - see : www.groireland.ie
You could also try the Census on the National Archives website at : http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ The 1911 data is already available, and the 1901 is due early next year. Their website is a little bit slow at the moment so you may have check back later.
