If she is one and the same, then I have a bible that was given to them not at the time of their wedding but sometime in the 1880s; the marriage page, however, is filled out for James Burke of Ireland and Margaret McKeough of Ireland, married 19 Aug 1849 in Castleton. Information was added to the bible through about 1911, and the births of their eight children are recorded, as well as some deaths. Curiously, the putative 1909 death of Margaret was not recorded. The article you transcribed describes the 1852 wedding of Margaret's sister, Ellen - again, if Margaret is one and the same, then the sister would have been Ellen McKeough of Ireland. And I may have 4th cousins named Kinsella! Thanks, Kristian Omland Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
