Unfortunately that might not be enough information to find any details in Ireland. Civil registration of births started in 1864 and for earlier dates you need to search for church records (if the exist) so you need to know bith the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland).
Did Richard stay in Ireland and marry here? If so, marriage information (if under civil registration should list his residence). Or did he leave Ireland? (in which case details from the country he sellted in might provide more help).

Both online sources for Cavan church records www.irish-roots.ie & www.irishgenealogy.ie show 2 Richard Burns -
1 born 1836, father's name Robert
1 born 1838, father's name Patrick

The records are not complete, they are transcribed and have many errors and omissions. You may have better luck with the originals on microfilm.

Thank you both for your help

Hi Kate

Re Richard born c1834 father John.

I am searching for siblings/family of my GGGrandmother Jane Burns born c1829 in Bailieborough. I have found a brother Rev William Burns born c1828 Bailieborough. Their parents were Huston born c1800 & Elizabeth nee Liscoe born c1804, married 1825 Co Meath.

Jane married Richard Morgan in 1853 Bailieborough and within a few months came to Australia.

There was a Huston Burns who went to Orange County New York about the same time. Have been unable to confirm that he was a sibling of Jane's or possibly a first cousin.

Have connected with a Burns descendent from Huston in New York State, and his research has found a John Burns born1803 and Margaret Morgan, born 1804 and married 1824.

This may be a long shot but could there be a connection for your Richard.

You seem to have forgotten that you'd already a topic looking for details of Richard Burns so I've merged the two threads to avoid people posting the same information that's already been given to you.

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.
