Quirke Familes

[bestdriver]

I am looking for any information about the Quirke families. The only info I have at the moment is:

Mary Quirke...Born  3d. October 1878   approx.
Michael Quirke....      12th. June 1886   approx.
Denis Quirke...            .3rd. Feb 1888   approx.
Joseph Quirke....       18th. May 1890   approx
.

The father of them is John Quirke married to Ellen Sullivan in 1876.

All were born in Cork or a town nearby.

                         Thanks

Some of these are before the marriage date you mentioned (is this detail verified?) although the date for Mary's birth matches exactly ... there might be another couple in Cork with the same names

some possible matches in the extracted births on Familysearch - looks like this family were in Cork City for at least some of them :

 see: Quirke/Sullivan search

Unfortunately none of these have page  numbers which you can use to cross-reference the births with the civil BMD Index and register - but it might be possible to find a possible matches by name and year. The registration district on the BMD Index would be Cork (as in City and surrounds)

The extracted records include some of the civil births between 1864 and about 1880 - so would not include the younger children - Michael, Denis or Joseph.

correction ... one the the extracted births does include a page reference :

  Name: Honorah Quirke
  Birth date: 12 Sep 1869
  Birthplace: 8 South, Cork   
  Reference : 185
  Parents :  John Quirk & Ellen Sullivan

('8 South' is the sub district)

and here's the corresponding Index record :

  Name: Honorah Quirk
  Registration district: Cork
  Event type: Birth
  Year: 1869
  Volume:   15 / Page: 185
 
you can use these details to order a birth cert from the GRO which will show more details.

and at least one has a baptism shown on www.irishgenealogy.ie

I think that it is Hanora on 16th September 1869 but has been transcribed as Hanna.
