The first person of the name to arrive in Ireland was William Fitzadelm de Burgo, a Norman knight from Burgh in Suffolk, who took part in the invasion of 1171, and succeeded Strongbow as Chief Governor. Variants of the Burke name include Bourke, de Burgo, Burgh, and De Burgh.
The Parish records for Kilmacabea are only available from June 1832 so we don't have any info on the birth of Timothy or Mary because records do not exist. Kilmacabea is one of the parishes in the Cork and Ross Diocese where records of baptisms and marriages are available from 1832 as many other parishes have records dating back to the late 1700's. However Kilmacabea did quickly include details such as address in the record which is of great help in tracing families. Records of burials are generally available from the early 1800's but these are vague in part. Of course most family graves were marked with just a stone without inscription so over time knowledge of those buried there was lost. Just to ponder on all those who lived over the centuries going back to around 9,000 years ago (7,000 BC) when the first people reputedly came to Ireland, where are they buried? We don't have graveyards but of course these people were buried at convenient locations and we do today find evidence of such burials. Cremation was used by stone age man and it is said that the bones were mixed with already deceased cremated relatives. Then for the 'chiefs'in particular, we will note they were buried / cremated and evidence is found in wedge tombs, etc.
We don't generally have records, in Ireland, for the 1700's and earlier and so genealogy research comes to a standstill for most researchers.
(Note by Frank: In the late 1970's I gathered some genealogy and it included that Timothy Burke's wife was a daughter of Jack Collins. All those notes were 'parked' for years until later when I restarted research. I assumed that the Timothy Burke whose wife was a daughter of Jack Collins was my great great grandfather, Timothy Burke (listed below) who married Mary Hayes. In 2020 'the penny dropped' in that I likely failed to recognise that the father of Timothy who married Mary Hayes was also Timothy (Timy) Burke. So very likely the senior man on this page (Timy) was married to a daughter of a Jack Collins)
The Tithe Applotment Books for Carrigbaun were recorded in 1829. In the Book we see Timy Burke & Dempsey as tenants of 46 acres.
Timy Burke
Julia Burke, John Burke, Timothy Burke and Michael Burke were siblings and children of Timy Burke and Mrs Burke (nee Collins).
