Burke was Irish, not British
You are correct; corrected to Anglo-Irish, since he spent much of his adult life in England, and was buried there. (Actually, Anglo-Irish would structurally refer to an English person who moved to Ireland — I’m not sure how to put together the reverse, short of “Irish-born English.”)
Thanks, John.
