Richard Burbridge (marriage 1879) was also my Great Great grandfather. Daughter Catherine is great grandmother, her son Joseph Kenny my grandfather.

Very interesting to hear about his police history from the garda museum records. Is there an online archive for these records?

Also interesting to hear that the family say that they were originally from the Roscommon Leitrim area.

Have you any information further back from Edward Burbridge (Richards father)?
Or any info on links to Roscommon/Leitrim?

Thanks

Richard and Mary Ann Maguire were my gt gt grandparents. He was from Meath originally and his father was Edward and his mother Anna. The family say that originally they were from Roscommon or Leitrim area.
There are lots and lots of Burbridge families in those counties in the early 1800s. There may be only a few now but Burbridge was a plentiful name before the famine
I doubt they are related to the Wicklow family though there is a daughter Kathleen. However I dont really know. Catherine or Kathleen (both were used interchangeably) was a very common name then

I got most of the info on them simply by googling Dublin records are online. There is a related family in the UK on ancestry
