BURKE (1814–1892)  , British genealogist, was born in London, on the 5th of January 1814, and was educated in London and in France . His father, John Burke (1787–1848), was also a genealogist, and in 1826 issued a Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the United Kingdom . This work, generally known as Burke's Peerage, has been issued annually since 1847 . While practising as a barrister Bernard Burke assisted his father in his genealogical work, and in 1848 took control of his publications . In 1853 he was appointed Ulster king-at-arms; in 1854 he was knighted; and in 1855 he became keeper of the state papers in Ireland . After having devoted his life to genealogical studies he died in Dublin on the 12th of December 1892 . In addition to editing Burke's Peerage from 1847 to his death, Burke brought out several editions of a companion volume, Burke's Landed Gentry, which was first published between 1833 and 1838 . In 1866 and 1883 he published editions of his father's Dictionary of the Peerages of England, Scotland and Ireland, extinct, dormant and in abeyance (earlier editions, 1831,1840, 1846); in 18J5 and 1876 editions of his Royal Families of England, Scotland and Wales (1st edition, 1847–1851); and in 1878 and 1883 enlarged editions of his Encyclopaedia of Heraldry, or General Armoury of England, Scotland and Ireland . Burke's own works include The Roll of Battle Abbey (1848); The Romance of the Aristocracy (1855); Vicissitudes of Families (1883 and several earlier editions); and The Rise of Great Families (1882) . He was succeeded as editor of Burke's Peerage and Landed Gentry by his fourth son, Ashworth Peter Burke .
