That item is referring to the UK census, it was a British ship.

Her Majesty's Ship Rosario, Screw Steam Sloop, Commander Henry J. CHALLIS, Australian Station.
Position of the Ship at midnight on the night of Sunday, April 2nd 1871: Anchor off Somerset, Cape York, Queensland, Australia. (RG10 Piece 5784 Folio 122 Page 3)

I don't see anyone named BURKE onboard.

Hi all,
Many thanks to all who helped my cousin Lyn22 in her search.

The book which LeighBurke (Post #42, 04 July 1942) mentions appears to be the short history I wrote in 1990. When referring to information in a book it is good practice to give its title, author, publication details & ISBN, if there is one - in this case it is ISBN 0 646 02340 3.

I have been researching the Burke family of Coventry for 45 years & am always willing to help if I can.
