Surnames: Burke, Burns Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RkG.2ACEB/3099 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any information on my ggrandfather, Thomas Burke, who came over from Ireland about 1872. I believe he was born about 1842, but do not know where in Ireland. He was married to Eliza (could be Elizabeth) Burns from Kelly's Island/Sandusky, Erie Co., Ohio. They lived in Stamford, Connecticut. Their children were, Rose, James, John, Thomas, and Margaret, my grandmother, who was married to John Downing.
