Hi do you know where in Ireland? I also have a GGrandfather Patrick Burke born in Co.Mayo abt 1846. He was married to a Bridget who died abt 1871 or 72 after having a son Thomas. Patrick remarried Ellen Feerick and they had a number of children. One was my Grandfather Martin Burke. Thomas Burke and Martin Burke both lived in Louisville,Ky. There was a Patrick Burke who was there also and who was related somehow! Just thought I'd share with you! Our stories sound so similar! Patty
