| Edmund Burke of Birr (d before 11.09.1740) | |||||||||||||||
| BLG1886 mentions that Edmund took on the wardship of Mary Burke, dau/heir of John Burke of Lismore, Edmund being described as John's "friend and relative". Mary married John Burke, son of the Earl of Clanricarde, upon whom the Earl settled Clondagoff. After mentioning that marriage, BLG1886 reports on Edmund's family, which is welcome but why it does so is not clear, and also mentions that in his will he mentions "his kinsman", Peter Burke of Birr, son of Dominick Burke of Clondagoff Castle (shown in the section just below). Apart from the later marriage connection with the Langtons of Birr, the only connection between them we have seen so far is via Eleanor Keating. | |||||||||||||||

| (1) As reported just above, there was a connection between the following family and that shown in the section just above. However, BLG1886 does not identify the connection other than the marriage with Eleanor Keating. BLG1886 reports the following immediately after mentioning the family of the above Edmund Burke of Birr. It confirms that Clondagoff Castle had been "settled by the Earl of Clanricarde on his 2nd son, John Burke, and his wife Mary Burke" and then mentions Peter of Birr, son of the following Dominick of Clondagoff Castle. It is not certain but the fact that the above Mary, who married John son of the Earl, was ward of the above-mentioned Edmund whose son married Eleanor Keating makes it unlikely that the second husband of that Eleanor Keating was Mary's great-grandson. In other words, it is likely that the following Dominick was a generation or two earlier than John, son of the Earl. He may have been Dominick, Mary's great-uncle. (2) BLG1952 identifies the arms of this family as "Or, a cross gu., in the 1st and 4th cantons a lion rampant sa.". |
