Having so little info on Patrick Bourke's wife Margaret I went searching for her in St.Michaels journals. I wrongly assumed that she would be younger than Patrick and went through the Baptism records 1825-27. Not a Margaret Doyle in the bunch. After looking at the three US Census reports on them , Margaret is listed as older than Patrick in two of them. I got lucky looking at 1824 and found the only Margaret with a father named Doyle. The entry was dated 21 Sept 1824 and read Margaret of John Doyle and Mary Finigin. Sponsors were Roger McMahon and Mary Cramer. Baptism performed by Rev. Thomas Coll.
> From everything I've seen about Limmerick and St.Michaels the people were poor and were laborers. I figured that they most likely couldn't afford to move around much so the romances and marriages would be local. That's all for now, be well. Eddie Burke
