HI
I am trying to trace any living relatives of my Grandfather John Burke who was born in 1874 on a smallholding in Meath, Ireland. He came over to England with his elder brother as his parents could not afford to keep them. They sailed to Liverpool and then walked to Birmingham. However my Grandfather John Burke could not get a job so he moved on to Accrington, Lancashire,where he met my Grandmother Margaret Ellen Baxendale and they brought up the family there but his brother stayed in the Midlands.

I don't know if there were any other children in the family but would be very interested to find out.

Thanks - Josie
