Hello all, In researching the possible parents of my g/mother ELLEN MCGINNIS, I have come across a few possibilities. Has anyone a connection with any of the following: >From Eaglehawk: JOHN HEYBURN JOHN MCGINNIS (maybe the bro. of below Michael?) >From Eaglehawk/S'hurst area: MICHAEL MCGUINESS m.MARGARET CASEY ELLEN MCGUINESS b. 1859 at Eaglehawk (Is this my g/mother? There is no mention of these parents on her MC or DC. Was she adopted informally?) JOANNA MARTHA MCGUINESS d. 1878 aged 21 at Sandhurst >From Eaglehawk: JEMIMA BURKE (an adult in 1877 and possible close friend of my g/mother.) >From Marong, S'hurst area: CHRISTOPHER BURKE m. ELIZA MCGINNESS MARY ANN BURKE b. 1855 JAMES HAYBURN BURKE b. 1861 ELIZA BURKE b. 1864 WILLIAM BURKE b. 1875 ANNE BURKE b. 1875 At my wit's end and hoping for a breakthrough very soon.
