Looking for info on James Rourke ( b. 1841 in Eire ) believed to be Keadew Roscommon and Mary Early (b in 1836 in Eire) believed to be Keadue Roscommon. Both g. grandparents went to West Calder in Scoltand around 1860 and later married there.<p>Some records show Early's and O'Rourke's/rourkes in Kilkeevin and Tumna but out here in Australia this means very little to me. Can any one help any info greatfully received.Cheers Ann O'rorke

Not sure of the name of Minnie's husband.<br>Minnie lives in Ballinaglera Pauline
