I have a Richard Burne who married a Margaret Unknown and had a Mary Burn in 1845 In Avoca area dont know if they are yours as I dont have much more on them. Let me know if you need to know the townland. The problem is that the Burne/Burn family in this area were in the beginning linked to the protestant religion and a family of that said name still live in the area. If you were to visit the man who is related to the Burne/Burn family he will relate that one of the girls went out the window and run off to marry, possibly a Catholic but he has the happy knack of changeing the name of the girl to suit the people researching the family. ( Love the Irish they like to make you happy) Cheers Cara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Betsy Johnson" <breadman4@verizon.net> To: <irl-wicklow@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2011 4:25 AM Subject: [IRL-WICKLOW] Fitzpatrick, Cullen,Burns from Co.
