Michael BURNS & Ann MEE - & child Thomas Patrick BURNS
Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2016 12:22 am
Dear Clare community, on behalf of a relative in USA, I am seeking any information on the parents or relatives of Thomas Patrick Burns, who is thought to have been born in Co. Clare.
On his death certificate it says that Thomas Patrick Burns Occupation Police Officer (Retired) who died 08 Jun 1948 in Rumford, Providence,Rhode Island, Burial Place Worcester, Massachussets, USA. Aged 70, his Birth Date 10 Sep 1877 & said to be born in Ireland. He was Married to Loretta C. Cavanaugh
On Thomas' death certificate it also states that his Father's name was Michael Burns, Birthplace Ireland & that his Mother's Name was Ann Mee born in Ireland.
Source of information is https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F84M-GHB.
I would be grateful if anyone could shed any light on any family links in Co. Clare. I have been unable to trace from Irish records online any birth, marriage or death records for the birth of Thomas, the marriage of the parents as listed above, nor any siblings. It is thought from US census records that he emigrated to USA around 1900 but from Ellis Island records I cannot match the person or his parents.
Thank you for any help or suggestions
