• Notes

  Birth record: James Joseph Census 1920: James J MA Death: Nil Darlene Duncan: Mammie (Sullivan) & Edward J. Burke's son James J. Burke's wife was named Louise. When I was a teenager we went on a trip to Birmingham, Alabama. James owned a Buick Car Dealership there. My Grandmother Mary (Leahy) Duncan purchased at least one car from him while she was living in Huntsville, Alabama. That was in the early 70's. James had a motor boat and we went out on a big lake, it was fun. They also had 2 big dogs, one was a (standard size?) black poodle. And they had a piano that was white with gold painted trim. Their house was down a long driveway, on a hill, with a guest house built separate from the main house. At night there was a view of the lights of Birmingham City. James Burke did well for himself. I do not know when James died. And I am not sure where he last lived, could have been Florida. [9]
