I found a marriage for Richard Burke & Jane Baker from 04 Aug 1863. It states Fermoy as the registration district. I believe they were my great-grandparents. They were the only Burke/Baker marriage I could find about the time they would have gotten married, although I was told her name was Mary (perhaps she was Mary Jane).  Their fathers are listed as Richard Burke & Samuel Baker. If you can find any further information about this, I would greatly appreciate it. I did find their immigration info from Ireland to the US.

  • I can't believe I posted this almost a year ago. I've been so absorbed in ancestry.com that I completely forgot to check back with you until a cousin mentioned your website. Anyway thanks advice.
