Hi All I have just discoverd a new lead while researching my Great Grandfathers William Bourke/Burke b.1830's Tipperary Ireland heritage. William came out here from Ireland sometime before 1862 as he married my great great grandmother Bridget O'Brien at the Catholic Cathedrial in Goulburn in 1862. On their marriage certificate the witnesses are noted as being James Gooley and Winifred O'Brien. From information that i have recieved i believe that William's parents were Bridget Kilfoyle and Michael Bourke/Burke. They had two other children Brigdet Bourke b.1831who married James Gooley b.1824 Tipperay Ireland and Catherine Burke b.1831 who were all born in Ireland. Bridget and James were married in Goulburn 1856. They had eleven children all born around the Goulburn area, born between 1857-1873. I have information on the children of Bridget O'Brien and William Bourke but have not been able to go back any further until now. If anyone out there is interested in these families and would like some more information or maybe able to help me with my research i would love to hear from you. Thanking everyone for their time.
