I am looking for any info on the following families: Burns--my maternal great grandmother, Elizabeth Burns Burke. Burke--Elizabeth's husband, my great grandfather, Thomas Burke. Their children, my grandmother Margaret Burke Downing, her sister, Rose Burke Kearns, brothers James Roddy Burke and John Burke. Downing--my great grandfather, Maurice Downing, his wife, my great grandmother, Mary Agnes Downey Downing. Their children, my grandfather, John James Downing, his brother, Charles Downing. I am not sure if there are any more children. I do know that my grandfather was born in Stamford on 8/29/1885 and died in Norwalk, 11/1985. I do know, according to some census I have read, that a Maurice Downing lived on Railroad Ave., Stamford, around 1897 - 1890. My grandparents had 2 children, my father Thomas Downing and my aunt, Margaret Downing Torok. Downey--My great grandmother, Mary Agnes Downey Downing. I do not have any info about her. I would like to hear from anyone who may have some info on my family. Thanks, Judy
