THE
BURKE FAMILY
This page is fairly long. If you're unsure
of where your BURKE might connect, just use your browser's search
engine if you're looking for a particular Burke family member. I
have included the families of Burke daughters, but stopped there.
Burke granddaughters will show up under other family names.
At the end of the descendants of William Burke
you will find several additional Burkes that I have been unable
to connect to the family. Can you help?
One more thing, my original document contained
French accent marks, but I have been unable to migrate those to
the Web. So if you come across the name Desire or Coupe or some
others, please read them with accents over the letter e.
Most of the data has sources listed in
brackets after the date. CR refers to census record, PR to parish
register, VR to vital record, etc. I can supply any specific citations
if you wish. I also have only listed people up to about the year
1900 in most cases to protect descendants' privacy. If you have
need to know about recent generations, please let me know.
1.
WILLIAM BURKE, was born about 1779/80; and died before
1833. He married, probably about 1797, LUDIVINE McDONALD, daughter
of Edward and Marguerite-Gervaise (Josse) McDonald, probably born
at Gabarus about 1776 and died at D'Escousse before 1835. They were
both deceased by the time of their son Walter's marriage in 1845.
They lived at D'Escousse where the 1811 census listed: William Burck,
mariner, 4 males and 1 female under 14, 2 cattle and 2 sheep.
In 1813 William Burke was listed in the Cape Breton militia roll as
a member of the Seventh Military Division. He is listed with his father-in-law
and brothers-in-law in D'Escousse. He was aged 33 years, a fisherman,
and was born in D'Escousse. He owned one horned cattle and 4 sheep.
In the household was his wife, 4 sons and 1 daughter.

2. DESIRE
BURKE, son of William and Ludivine (McDonald) Burke, was
probably born before 1800, and died after 1838 but before the 1861
census was taken. He married MARGUERITE COUPE, daughter of Jean
and Francoise (Lester) Coupe, born about 1799, and died at Poulamond,
28 July 1875.
In 1838 'Desire and Margaret Burk' were
listed in the census at D'Escousse where he was a fisherman. With
them were six children, two males (Desire and William) and one female
(Madeleine) under age 6, and one male (Siffroi) and two females
under age 14. The identity of the two females is not known.
Marguerite Burke was listed in the 1861
census in D'Escousse as a widow. The ages of those listed indicate
that her sons Desire and Maxime, and her widowed son William were
living with her. Also listed were two single females between the
ages of 20 and 30. One would have been her daughter Madeleine, leaving
room for the other to be Emily who did not marry until after the
1861 census was taken. In 1871 she was living in Poulamond with
her son Desire and his family.

5. RUFINE BURKE, probably the
daughter of William and Ludivine (McDonald) Burke, was born about
1809, and was buried at D'Escousse 7 Nov. 1900 [PR]. She married
SIMON LEBLANC, who was born about 1804/5, and was buried at D'Escousse
18 Jan. 1883 aged 77 years [PR].
Marriage records of her children list her
as Rufine Burke. The only Burke family in D'Escousse was the family
of William and Ludivine. The 1811 census listing for William Burke
shows a daughter under age 14. The 1813 militia roll also shows
a
daughter. This unidentified daughter would be of the right age to
be Rufine.
The 1838 census shows Simon LeBlong &
R. [his wife] in D'Escousse. Simon was a fisherman. With them were
two females under age 6, 1 male under age 14, and one female under
age 14. All known children except one were born after the 1838 census
was taken.
The 1861 census shows Simon LeBlanc and
his wife, both age 50 - 60. With them were a single male 20 - 30
(probably Simon), a single female 10 - 15 (Philomene), and a single
male 10 – 15 (Edward).

6. ELIZABETH BURKE, the daughter of William and Ludivine
(McDonald) Burke, was buried at D'Escousse 9 Jan. 1865 [PR]. She married
at D'Escousse, 10 Nov. 1835 [PR] HONORE [HENRY] SAMSON, son of Louis
and Marie (LeCointe) Samson. He was living in D'Escousse in 1891 with
his second wife, Julia Poirier.
Elizabeth's marriage listed her as child of Edward Burke and Ludivine
McDonald, but the only Ludivine old enough to be her mother was
married to William Burke, not Edward. She is probably the Isabelle
Burke who was godmother to Michel McDonald 29 Mar. 1832 [PR], as
her death record in 1865 listed her as Isabelle.
Henry (a fisherman) and Elizabeth Samson were listed in the 1838
D'Escousse census. With them were a male under 6 [Henry], but also
one male and three females over age 14. The male might have been
her brother Walter, but the identity of the females is not known.

7. WALTER BURKE, son of William and Ludivine (McDonald)
Burke, was born 1820/1, and died between 1891 and 1901. He married
at Arichat, 7 Jan. 1845 RUFINE PETITPAS, daughter of Pierre and Catherine
(Poirier) Petitpas, who was born 6 Feb.1820 [1901 CR].
Walter was not listed as a head of a household in the 1838 census,
nor was a male of his age listed with any of his married brothers.
There was however a male over age 14 listed with his sister Elizabeth
Samson in the census.
Walter and Rufine were not listed in the 1861 D'Escousse census,
but were living there in 1871. Walter was a house servant, Irish,
in 1871, a laborer in 1881 and 1891. In 1901, Rufine, widowed, was
living with her daughter Catherine Landry in Poulamon.

26 Mar. 1878 [1901 CR]; m. at D'Escousse, 10 Aug. 1904 [SW]Marie
Boudrot, dau. of Pascal and Anne (Marchand) Boudrot, and widow
of Simon Langlois; living with Walter and Rufine as early as
age 3, but may actually be a grandson as he is listed as a nephew,
not a brother, of Catherine Burke Landry in the 1901 census;
general laborer in 1901. |
8. EMILIE [AMELIA] BURKE, probably the daughter of
Desire and Margaret (Coupe) Burke, was born 1830/1. She married at
D'Escousse about 1862, GEORGE DESTRUMMEL, probably the son of Pierre
and Rosalie (Provost) Destrummel, who
was born 1833/4, and died between 1872 and 1881.
There is much to indicate that Emily Burke Destrummel was the
daughter of Desire and Margaret (Coupe) Burke. The Burkes listed
two females (probably daughters) under age 14 in the 1838 census
who have not been identified. Also with them in 1861 was
a female between the ages of 20 and 30. Emily Burke's future husband
was still living with his widowed mother in 1861, so the female
with the Burkes could be Emily. In addition, Emily's 'brother' Desire
married George Destrummel's sister Marie.
In 1871 George and Amelia lived in Poulamond and are listed next
to the families of Desire and William Burke. George was a laborer.
In 1881 the family of 'Emelily Burk' is listed in the census, but
in 1891 the family of Amelia Destrumal is listed.
