Blake / Burke

Galway

Looking for Hannah BLAKE b 1822-1834 in Galway to William BLAKE and Mary BURKE. Also her sister Mary BLAKE.

Family legend has it that the parents died and the girls were sent to a convent / boarding school in England. Hannah was in England in 1852. No marriage records have been found in England for Hannah to Henry ROBINSON.

Census, immigration and New Zealand records all result in a different birth year.

Great:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked on Roots Ireland and also Find My Past which has a Catholic parish register data base and although two records came up in your time period, the parents were not William Blake and Mary Burke. Possibly she was baptized in a church which no longer has records back to the 1820s.

You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing.
