Lissa, I think you may have found a different tree than I did, so you deserve extra stars for that one. With 9 children, there may be a good number of descendants out and a few may be working on this family tree.
Let's hope we didn't scare Gail away with our nutty obsessiveness.
I just found a tree that lists Simon Burns and Katherine Murphy as Edward's parents. There's a cause of death given, time of death, residence at time of death, and burial at St. Bernards Catholic Church in Rockville, so sounds like the tree owner may have Edward's death certificate. It gives his date of birth as 27 Jan 1864. If you'd like, Gail, I could try to contact the person through Ancestry's system.
