About Ursula Burke

In or about 1580 Anthony Brabazon married Ursula, daughter of Sir Nicholas Malbie... Brabazon had two sons by his wife Ursula, the eldest named Malbie, born about 1580, the younger named Edward and a daughter Catherine. He further consolidated his position in Connacht through the marriage of his daughter Catherine to John Burke of Dunsandle (later Viscount Clanmorris), third surviving son of Ulick 3rd Earl of Clanricarde.[xv] His daughter Sarah married John Hamilton of Corronearie in County Cavan, fourth son of Hans Hamilton of Dunlapp in Scotland, the latter a younger brother of James Viscount Clandeboy... Anthony Brabazon died on 29th June 1597 and was buried at Christchurch in Dublin. Fr. Egan in his ‘Parish of Ballinasloe’ and the early nineteenth century family pedigree recorded in the office of the Ulster King of Arms gives Anthony’s son Edward as older than Malbie, but it appears clear from both Anthony’s Funeral Entry and that of his eldest son entered in the office of the Ulster King of Arms that Malbie was the elder. Following his death, his widow Ursula married in 1603 Sir Thomas Burke, second son of Ulick 3rd Earl of Clanricarde, who later, as Sir Thomas Burke of Ballinasloe, claimed to be the rightful heir to his father’s title and unsuccessfully disputed his older brother Richard’s right to the earldom.

The younger son, Anthony Brabazon, Governor of Connaught, married the heiress of Sir Nicholas Malby, making the Brabazons one of the largest land-owning families in Ireland by the early 17th century.
