Descendants of MICHAEL O'ROURKE


Generation No. 1


1. MICHAEL O'ROURKE, SR. was born Abt. 1799 in Thomastown Co. Kilkenny,
Ireland2, and died Jan 11, 1881 in Holyrood, Conception Bay, Newfoundland,
Canada2. He married MARY CRIMMONS 18252, daughter of PATRICK CRIMMONS and
ANNE HAYES. She was born Abt. 1810 in Waterford, Ardmore Co., Ireland2, and
died Jun 19, 1872 in Holyrood, Conception Bay, Newfoundland, Canada.

Notes for MICHAEL O'ROURKE, SR.:

Came from Ireland in 1821.

Holy Cross RC Cemetary, Southside Holyrood gravestone reads:

Erected by Michael O'Rourke

In memory of his father Michael

died 1881

Veitch, Mary G. "Come Ashore to Holyrood" 1989: p.127 "The name (O'Rourke)
goes back to the early 1800's when Michael O'Rourke and his wife Mary landed
in Holyrood "

One source, and the above quote fits, has them marrying in 1925...so it is
possible they came to Nfld. with their families and then married.

A note from Sheree, one of the Holyrood genealogy interest group, says"He
landed on the south side of Holyrood Nfld., known as the Grove with his wife
Mary. She was a native of Ardmore Co. Waterford Ireland. They had 9
children; 6 boys & 3 girls."

"1881 Feb 05 - Gazette; Evening Telegram; Harbour Grace Standard

Michael Rourke, native of Thomas Town, Co. Kilkenny, died at Holyrood aged
82 on the 11th. He was here 61 years."

There was an old hotel ran by the O'Rourkes in Holyrood and an old O'Rourke
house still stands in Holyrood today.

Evening Telegram....May 31, 1918 (Friday)

"In Memoriam. Maria O'Rourke.

Holyrood mourns the loss of one of its most estimable old ladies in the
person of Mrs. Maria O'Rourke. The deceased lady was born at Hr. Main 68
years ago, and was the daughter of the late Capt. John & Martha Kennedy.
During her six week's illness, she was attended by Dr. Jones, who called to
her aid all that practical experience and skillful treatment could suggest,
but despite all she succumbed to the attacks of a chronic malady. Rev. Fr.
Finn was in constant attendance of the sick woman and administered to her
spiritual strength and comfort. Her funeral took place on last Monday from
her late residence to the Church of Holy Cross where the funeral obsequies
were performed by Rev. Fr. Finn, and thence to the Southside Cemetary where
interment took place in the family plot. On Monday morning Solemn High Mass
and office was sung for the repose of her soul. The celebrant was Rev. W.P.
Finn, P.P.; Deacon, Rev. T. O'Neill, P.P., Conception; Sub-Deacon, Rev. R.M.
Shean, P.P. Conception. The late lamented Mrs. O'Rourke was the mother of
ten children - two sons and eight daughters, but five of her children
predeceased her. Three are living in Springfield, Mass., one in Salmonier
and one at home. Once Newfoundland's smartest scholar, the late gifted and
gentle Gertrude, was her daughter, and Avondale's merchant prince, the late
Edward Kennedy, her brother. Of a retiring but frank disposition, charitable
and hospitable, Mrs. O'Rourke possessed the qualities of a good woman and a
good Catholic, and her large funeral which was attended by numbers of her
relatives from Hr. Main, Avondale and Holyrood attests to the respect in
which she was held. To her bereaved husband and daughters, we offer our
sincere sympathy, and our prayers for the repose of the soul of the late
Maria O'Rourke. - Com."

Falls. The following is all I have on him:

mission of Harbour Main until 1883, that's probaly why his listed as being

attended the 3rd Class at St. Bonaventure's College from 1865-1879. After

graduation, he proceeded to the Seminary, where he stayed to the next 8

years. He was ordained in 1878 for the Prefecture of St. George's. In

1879, he was appointed 2nd Parish Priest of St. Stephen's Parish in

Lawlor).

Baptism: April 24, 1871, Sts. Peter & Paul R.C. Parish records, Harbour
Main, Nfld.

Baptismal Sponsors: April 24, 1871, Michael Rourke & Margaret Lalor

Death Record: Death Reel 29, Vital Stats, Nfld Archives:Matthew O'Rourke -
drowning - Aug 23, 1894 at Halls Bay Railway - born at Holyrood.

The railway was built with pick, shovel and wheelbarrow; rock cuts were
drilled and blasted by hand through almost impassable terrain.
Newfoundland's rivers and valleys run from north to south, and the east-west
railway crosses them all. Grades are steeper than in the Rockies, and the
sharpest curves appear on the steepest grades. Near St. Andrew's, the Bullet
goes uphill and down at the same time, and around three curves at once.
There's a bridge on the average every four miles, but not a single tunnel
from coast to coast.

In 1893 the railway was completed from Placentia Junction to Norris Arm and
was known as the Halls Bay Railroad (Northern Division). In the fall of
1897, the railway was completed from Norris Arm to Grand Bay less than two
miles from Port aux Basques and was known as the "Newfoundland Northern and
Western Railway." In early June of 1898, the last rails were laid, and the
final link was completed to Port aux Basques.

Newfoundlanders have told me that the Railroad was built as cost plus, which
means the company got paid for the length of rails they laid. So they didn't
take the shortest route but the easiest and longest route. Some payment was
made in land so the heirs of this company still own vast areas of land in
Newfoundland.

He lived in Newfoundland and used to visit his sister Marguerite O'Rourke
and trelatives in the Sydney area. He had a problem with alcohol.

About the garage. He had previously built a breakwater on the other side of
the road from the house and filled it in. Probably to stop corrosion from
the brook and salt water. He went to Sydney and purchased a Model T type
Ford car, probably the first one in Poulamon. It wasn't completely closed in
from the weather, had curtains over the windowa which you had to close.
First kept it in the barn. But his insurance agent said that wasn't a good
idea, and he was right as I believe the barn eventually burnt down. So he
built a garage across the road with the help of his son Richard who was home
visiting from US. Richard was a building contractor. So the car was kept in
the garage. Mother says that they used to hold the doors for him when he
took it in or out and onetime when he was puttting it in the garage he ran
it through the back wall. He later bought a Pontiac.
