Jon, I just got the copies today. I am afraid there is no Wm. Burke in the directory. There was a Joseph and Walter who were clothiers. There was a Henry Bourke who was a Woollen Draper. But no Wm. Sorry. In order to get this Dublin Directory transcribed - I could use a good typist or two. I work full time and am balancing a several ongoing transcriptions for all of Ireland. So, if you are motivated and would like to aid us, drop me a line off list at chrisnina@gmail.com I think it is nice for people with an interest in the county to be able to help if at all possible.

This may sound like a silly question but is Ba-Ca? next in your work? I'm asking because my 4xGGrandfather, WILLIAM BURKE was a tailor in Dublin in the early part of the 19th century, so it would be great for me if you have a record of him. Regards Jon Burke
