Thanks Roger.
My Burke ancestors come from Loughmore & Templemore. I came across the grave for Walter Burke on Norfolk Island NSW Australia earlier this year. He was born Tipperary 1804, transported to Norfolk Island in 1832 & executed on Norfolk Island in 1834.
My Burke ancestors also contain convicts & bushrangers. I was trying to find out if Walter Burke was any connection to my Burke line. However he could have been born anywhere in Tipperary.
Thank you for your time.
