ROSCOMMON WAS THE ELDEST OF 7 BROTHERS. I THINK HE EMIGRATED TO PITTSBURGH PA USA BUT HE MAY HAVE RETURNED TO IRELAND. HIS FATHER EDWARD BOURKE(DIFFERENT SPELLING OF LAST NAME) WAS MARRIED TO HONURA/ANNA MCCABE IN ELPHIN CHURCH CO. ROSCOMMON FEB 12 1823. EDWARD WAS THE SEVENTH OF SEVEN BROTHERS SO MAYBE YOUR GGGRANDFATHER WAS A COUSIN.
