But John's dad is Michael
so is this the family you mean in 1881
RG11; Piece: 3699; Folio: 111; Page: 7
Name Age
55 Holborn Street
Mary Burke 34 widow b Liverpool
Joseph Burke 13
Robert Burke 8
Mathew Burke 5
which could be 1871
Name Age RG10; Piece: 3781; Folio: 104; Page: 57
Joseph Burke 30 b Eniskillen Ireland
Mary Burke 25 b Liverpool
Joseph Burke 3 b Liverpool
Richard Burke 1 bLiverpool
Margaret Aley 18
so now we have 2 Burkes families, one with John whose dad is Michael and he had a brother Mark b 1876 on the 1891 census.
Then we have Matthew with Joseph and Mary but no brother John.
We have a birth reg for each of them Matthew and Mark in 1876, but also a death reg in 1876 fro Matthew which may in fact be nothing to do with them
so either Alice married Mark (brother to John) b 1876 and he is calling himself Matthew on the marriage cert and in 1901, or the Matthew she married is the son of Joseph and Mary, and maybe he and John are cousins
Deffo need to see that marriage certficate
