Biography of Catherine BURKE HART CONNELLY

Catherine Burke was born in Ballyoughtra, County Cork, Ireland about 1850, the daughter of Timothy Randal Burke and his wife Honora O'Donohue

Catherine Burke] married Michael Harte who was living in Derrygereen townland in Skibbereen Rural, on February 9, 1869 in Skibbereen Roman Catholic Chapel, probably St. Patrick's RC Church, later named a Pro-Cathedral. Michael Harte is the son of Timothy Harte, who is deceased. Timothy Harte did not live in Derrygereen townland before 1853, and perhaps only his son lived there at marriage in 1869.

Catherine Burke and Michael Harte had children:

  1. Mary Hart, baptized on July 4, 1869, who was born in "Drishane" which is really Drisheen, Aghadown Civil Parish, Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland
  2. Timothy Hart baptized on August 28, 1870 who was born in Drisheen, Aghadown Civil Parish, Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland
  3. Ellen Hart, born August 25, 1872 in Drisheen, Aghadown Civil Parish, Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland. Mother is listed as "Catherine Murphy", perhaps a misreading of the records. Church corrected Murphy to read Burke, and the priest probably did not hear her name correctly the first time. The index is wrong. Baptismal sponsors are Julia Burke and Timothy Donoghue.
  4. Catherine Harte baptized on February 7, 1875 who was born in Drisheen , Aghadown Civil Parish, Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland. Her baptismal sponsors were Julia Burke and John Donoghue. Her name is spelled Harte instead of Hart and perhaps the spelling is interchangable.
  5. John Hart baptized on June 8, 1877 who was born in Drisheen, Aghadown Civil Parish, Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland. His baptismal sponsors are Randal Burke, age 17, Catherine's brother and Nora Burke, Catherine's sister Honora "Hannah" Burke most likely who later marries Daniel Regan after immigrating to America.

Catherine Burke Hart passed away before 1960, and probably by 1940. Her younger brother Randal Burke passed away in 1939.


Research Notes

  1. Catherine Burke may have lost her husband Michael Harte while her children were still young,. We know from her nephew that she remarried to Mr. Connolly after Michael Harte died. We are trying to determine if Michael Harte died in 1879 in Drisheen, or in 1923 in Carhoo. We do know that Catherine was widowed at some point and remarried.
  2. Catherine Burke] may have moved to Carhoo townland, near Clonakilty. She did not move to County Limerick, but her son Timothy Hart may have done so. More research is necessary.
  3. Catherine Burke is not the Kate Burke born to Michael Burke and Kate Toomey Burke in 1878 in Ballyoughtra, but is probably a relative of this child. Michael Burke is also not the Michael Burke who gave us family information as he was not born until 1890, and he married Mary Donovan.

Thank you Margaret! Do you know where they lived after Michael died? I have seen the name Hart on Heir Island and in other places in Aghadown. You have signed the honor code, so you can edit his profile and also that of your grandmother. Let me know if you need any help with the wikitree software. I can add you to the trust list if you send me your email. By the way, you have a lot of Burke cousins all over the states I can connect you with. Please let me know!
