Title: George Irwin, 1775, Armagh
Post by: fortitude on Friday 20 January 12 21:24 GMT (UK)
I don't have much to go on, George Irwin was born about 1775 in Armagh and married a Helen Gowan. Would like to find his parents and any children he might of had,  any help would be appreciated.

Hi Fortitude,

There are 2 George Irwin's listed in the Flax Growers List for Co. Armagh in 1796 as,

George Irwin - Loughgilly, Armagh, and
George Irwin - Mullaghbrack, Armagh.

There are a lot of other Irwin's listed, use the following link to have a look.

Thank you for your reply, I found a son John Irwin born 1826 in Armagh, and know he was in Canada by 1857. From what I can tell there are no reliable census for that time in Ireland
