Burke
My Great Aunt thought her Grandmother’s name was Morris, not Burke, and she was baptised Jeanie-Morris, she thought, after her. My Father’s second name was Morris. There is no other incidence of Morris in the family, and very little information about the family in Ireland. Her grandmother Jane (or Jean Burke) was the youngest sibling born c 1820. The 1841 Census shows her as born in Scotland while her siblings were born in Ireland.
