Ed, I just read your page about your Burns family from Belfast. Maybe there is a connection to my mothers family. My great grandfather was named Michael Burns. He was born in Port Carbon Pa. about 1838. I believe his father ( but have not yet proven it) was Patrick Burns who came to Pottsville Pa. from Belfast in the 1840s( I do have immigration papers on this Patrick. He states that in 1848 he was 25 years old) My gr. grand Michael married Ellen ( Connelly). They lived in Mach Chunk for some years, also lived in Eckley( their son Michael was born there), lived in Ashland where my grandmother & her sisters were born. Mary "Mame" m. John Doyle( Ashley), Ellen m. Miles Burke( Wilkes-Barre), Frances m. George Beatty ( Ashley) & Margaretta m.James O'Neill ( Ashley) My great grandfather was in the Civil war. I have his pension papers . On his marriage cert. He was married in St. Joseph's church in Ashland ( Schuylkill Co.) & his witnesses were William Burns & Mary Carroll. If you might see any connection, please mail me at [email protected] I will be away for a good part of the day but will write later.
