Re: O'Rorke/Eardley/Dawson families
Now have further information. <br>My g. Grandparents were James Rourke b.1841 in Eire married MARY EARLY b 1836 in Eire. James as a single man for Scotland in 1860.<p>My grandparents were THOMAS O'ROURKE b.1869 in Scotland married Ann Earley (b in Eire 1875) abt 1900. Looking for info on the Irish background. I now believe there were no Dawson's in the family - my apologies. Now I believe the parents of James Rourke were Farrel O'Rourke and Bridgittae Wynne as listed in IGI records.<p><br>These family members were believed to be from Keadew in the Lough allen area. Any info or help greatfully received. Cheers Ann O'Rorke. <p><p><br> : Looking for information on James O'Rorke b.abt 1845 near Lough Allan maybe Keadue, went to Scotland prior to 1869.
