Post by: gwenjus on Monday 19 January 15 04:42 GMT (UK)
I wonder if any kind soul would be able to find how many children Abedi Michael  Bourke ( or sometimes Michael Abedi Bourke ) and his wife Annie Stewart Colcott had. I think they lived in Terang Victoria.  Thanks,,  Gwen

By the by both Thomas and Abedi Michael's deaths were registered as BURKE not BOURKE.

Thos died in 1937 in Fitzroy (reg #9278), aged 76, father as Jas and mother Mary OBRIEN.

Michael in 1937 in Terang (reg #18896), aged 63, father as Jno and mother as Mary OBRIEN.

The sister mentioned in notice above was Mary Ann BRENTANE who died in 1946 in 'S Tarra' (reg #11296), aged 83, father as Jno BOURKE and mother as Mary OBRIEN.

Another sister was Agnes Elizabeth JUSTIN who died in 1944 in Terang (reg # 21501), aged 70, father as Jno BOURKE and mother as Mary OBRIAN.

I suspect the eldest sister named  was Bridget Louisa DELANY who died in 1944 in Fitzroy (reg #9638), aged 79, father as Jno BOURKE and mother as Mary BRYAN.
