My g g grandfather was Joseph Burke, born in c1800 in Tuam, Galway, Ireland. My g grandfather, Mark Aloyisous Burke, was also born in Tuam and was editor of a local Tuam paper; prior to that he went to be priest in Dublin but did not finish course. He came to London in c1860/70, worked as a reporter on Fleet St and married Jane Andrews (from Berkley, Glos) in 1875. His son, Mark William Burke, my grandfather, also worked on Fleet Street, married Mary Ann Wrenn in 1898 and then lived in Tottenham. Does anyone know extra info about these Burke/Wrenn realtives of mine?
