About Lisa's Family History
I decided to create this tree in the hope that i maybe able to connect with others  out there who are either researching the same families as myself or feel that they  have something that they think they maybe able to contribute to my tree. Any help  that others can give me is always appreicative.

I origionally started tracing my late mothers Carol Donelan Family Tree. I was  fortunate enough to have already have alot of the ground work done. So i just  continued to search from the information that i already had.

In the process i discovered my convict ancestors and got to understand how difficult  their lives must of been when they arrived in Australia as convicts between 1788-1804  from the country in which they commited their crimes,as a result of the crimes  committed that they were transported to Australia as part of their sentence.

These convicts helped Australia become the country that it is today and we should  always remember them and never forgot the hardships they faced in effort to help  build this country.

My mothers grandfather Richard Doneland was born in Killagh,Galway Ireland in 1837.  In 1858 Richard migrated to Australia along with three of his other siblings, his  brothers Robert and Charles and elder sister Elizabeth. They worked and lived with  their uncle Acheson Ffrench at his property called Monivea in Hamitlon Victoria.

After tracing my mothers tree i decided that i wanted a challenge and decided to  trace my fathers Brian Burke's family tree. That has proven to be very hard at times  and very challenging. But with help from many people i have managed to put new leaves  onto the growing tree.

I have gone back as far as 1789 Ireland. My Paternal Great Great Great Grandmother  Bridget Kilfoyle married a Michael Bourke. They had 14 children. I have managed to trace  William (My Paternal Great Great Grandfather), Bridget & Thomas. There could be a  daughter Catherine but i have not been able to confirm this as of yet.

My Paternal Great Great Grandfather William Bourke b.1830 Tipperary Ireland married a  women called Bridget O'Brien b.1842 County Galway Ireland at St Peter & Paul Catholic  Church in Goulburn 1862. The Bourke family continued to live around the Goulburn up  until the early 1930's when my grandfather William Patrick Burke moved to Sydney with  his wife Edith Mary Hoye and their four children Joan, Brian, Peter and Paul.

My paternal Grandmother Edith Mary Hoye was born in 1892 Murrumburrah-d.1974 Manly NSW.  Edith married William Burke 1918 in Young NSW. They had four children, Joan, Brian my father,   Peter and Paul (Twins).

Edith's parents were Patrick Hoye b.1864 Boorowa NSW -d.1933 Murrumburrah NSW  and Mary Ellen Short b.1866-d.1941 Wollongong NSW. Ediths siblings were Laura Josepine Hoye  b.1889,Veronica Ethel Hoye b.1894,Richard Stanley Hoye b.1897 & Rita M Hoye b.1906. All  children were born in Murrumburrah NSW.

The current line i am searching is that of my 4th Maternal Grandparents Rachel Early and Samuel  Marsden. Rachel was a convict that came out with the first fleet on board the vessel the  Friendship she married fellow convict John Price in Sydney Harbour June 1788. John Price left  Rachel. Not much is know about his whereabouts. Rachel began a relationship with Soldier Samuel  Marsden of the NSW Corps. This relationship produced a daughter named Elizabeth who went onto  marry another convict called Uriah Allender. Samuel left Rachel and married a women called Ann  Harmsworth they had six children together. Rachel died in Tasmania 1842 aged 73. Samuel died in  Liverpool NSW 1830 aged 60.
