My Great Granmother, Margaret Burke, was born about 1848 in County Galway, Parish Milltown (was Liskeevy and Addergoole), Townland, Belmont. Her parents were Michael Burke and Honor [Connelly]. In about 1870, Margaret went to New York, NY, to work as a seamstress to raise money for her dowry. She returned to Ireland in about 1876/6 and married Michael Raftery in 1876. She died in 1888.
