Jane...If it were easy we wouldn't be doing it...!!
The bonus being you also have the Bishop family...think of it as an adventure...you never know what's coming next...!

They don't make it easy do they!
I checked the 1871 census and Ernest age 3 and Annie age 1are on the census with James and Harriet!
Thanks for your input.
Jane

Jane...The 1871 Census does show Ernest with Harriet and James ....given Harriet's maiden name was Bishop the only alternative to that not being Ernest *Burke* is that a sister of Harriet's married a "Birks" and they also named their child Ernest...!

Thank you for the above. Interesting re above. Re John T Burke your info explains why he was in Ireland.
Re Ernest his parents are James and Harriet Burke.
Will recheck 1871 census.

Think I'll just tiptoe away as I know nothing about searching in Ireland. :-)
