Thomas Burke from Co Cork born 1842
« on: Thursday 24 October 13 15:28 BST (UK) »
I am looking for info on Thomas Burke. Ive found censuses, baptism certificates, etc but I cant find a specific town in Co Cork. He was born in 1841/1842 to Thomas and Cecily. He arrived in America around 1860 and married Mary Boland in 1867. He lived in Brooklyn and then lived in Jersey City NJ

I should clarify, I have the baptism certificates for Thomas' children from Jersey City NJ. On those certificates it says county Cork.

Do you have marriage cert for thomas - it may show his fathers name which may help.
Thomas was born prior to civil registration in ireland which commenced in 1864 so a baptism record would be all that could be sourced. To obtain this you will need a location in co cork
