Title: George Albert BURKEY b.1871, Ness, Wirral
Post by: Cwrwda on Thursday 02 October 14 22:09 BST (UK)
Hello,
Has anyone else delved into this character? George Albert Burkey, was my great grandfather, a Journeyman Stonemason. He was quite a rogue and his story is worthy of a popular TV programme. He had 5 known wives and 17 known children. I have lots of information on him and relatives, I'd really like to compare notes, to see a photo of him would be the icing on this story for me.
Cheers
Shaun Burkey

If you haven't already done so, a good way to make surname connections with other members is to enter your surname interests in the Surname Interests Table (SIT), and to check there whether others are researching these names. 

This can be found at http://surname.rootschat.com/ , there is a link to it under "Your Tools" at the bottom of each Rootschat page.

The more people who enter their surnames, the more chance there will be of making a connection!
