From "DUBLIN STREET IN THE RARE AULD TIMES". THE CARLOW ADVERTISER

"No.14 adjoining the Royal Hotel was formerly Patrick Bourke and Son Victuallers and Wool Merchants. Bourkes were also agents for the Dublin and Wicklow Manure Co. Mr. Bourke emigrated to Perth, Australia. The business then passed to Jim Oliver" (This was the boy's father who died in 1930)

Maybe someone "down under" knows Mr. Bourke's descendants!
