He is best known for serving aboard at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, and was present at the death of Lord Nelson in the cockpit of the ''Victory''. ==Family and early life== Burke was born in Limerick, Ireland.〔http://limerickslife.com/navy-pursers/〕 He was a relation of the politician Edmund Burke. He joined the navy, due to having a family member already enlisted. He had at least three sons in the navy. One son, Henry Burke, rose to the rank of commander (from Lieutent of the ''Renown'') on 4th October 1800, and captained the 16-gun brig-sloop from June 1802. In August 1803, he re-took the (East Indiaman) ''Lord Nelson'', which had been captured by the privateer ''Bellone'' several days previously. Captain Henry Burke, and a younger brother, were lost with the rest of ''Seagull''s complement when she disappeared at sea in the English Channel in February 1805. Another son, Walter Burke, rose to the rank of lieutenant. He was mortally wounded during the boarding the French ship ''Chevrette'' in July 1801, and died in hospital.〔
