In County Down the name Burnside was principally found in Newry and Drumbo. Most of the early Irish records were destroyed in 1922 so the early families might be difficult to trace. I would suggest you look at the International Genealogical Index (IGI) for Ireland in your nearest Mormon library and see if any show up. The 1843 Belfast directory listed only one Burnside - Thomas, a bricklayer. Likely he came there from somewhere else. The name can be either English or Scottish. A Burnside was an American senator in the 19th.C. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Holley" <ljholley@comcast.net> To: <nir-down@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 11:18 AM Subject: [NIR-DOWN] Burnside FAMILY > Thought I would post info again about my Burnside family is case someone > was new to the list that might have information about this family.
