    years in our village. Their names are Michael Ludden and Maggie Ludden Michael Lavelle and Bridget Lavelle. There is very flat land in Ballyburke. It is very good land. This is the reason that this village is called Ballyburke because there were a lot of Burkes living in this village long ago. There was a lot of plantations in this village long ago. The buts are to be to this day. Gavins are the most common name in this village.
