The above register set starts 1872. You can work through by clicking on the Http: in blue and find baptisms for -

Mary 1872 - sponsors Ruth and Honor Connolly
John 1874 - sponsors both McHughs

Sometimes sponsors names can give clues.

Trying to find a connection Nalty, / Goggins / Burke
but nephew could be great nephew and so not an obvious connection

Could this marriage be a link,? Maybe a child of a brother of John

Party 1 Name JOHN BURKE
Party 2 Name ELLEN NALTY
Date of Event 11 June 1897

Image shows both of full age
John is a Herd from Tuam, Father Thomas was a Labourer
Ellen from Corofin (same as Patrick when he married). Father Patrick is a Herd
Witnesses - Bernard McHugh and Mary Nalty

They have a son Martin Anthony Burke 16.12.1904 in RD of Tuam, Galway but that would make him Grandson not nephew?

Another child - No, this is Margaret !!

None of the Martins whose births are on irishgenealogy.ie, 1904-1908, has the same DOB as your Martin (either 15 May 1906 or 15 June 1906.)

There is this birth in Co. Mayo:-

First name(s) Martin
Last name Burke

Mother's last name (original) -

There is also this birth at the same time (although the page numbers are 32 and 42 this could be a mistake):-

First name(s) Michael

Or, if they weren't twins then there is this possible birth for Michael:-

Kath. x

None of the Martins whose births are on irishgenealogy.ie, 1904-1908, has the same DOB as your Martin (either 15 May 1906 or 15 June 1906.)

So I have now been told that Martin had a brother, possibly a twin named Michael. I would imagine that is the Michael who who was the witness as Martins marriage.

Is this related?

Marriages Sep 1951
BOURKE Mary C TONRA Ealing 5e 626
TONRA Patrick J BOURKE Ealing 5e 626

Both born 1923 according to death records.
