Requesting parentage and marriage of MATTHEW IRWIN b. Abt 1861, St Mary's , Rockcliffe, Cumberland, married RUTH DODD Abt 1785. ( maybe IRVING when married ?)
Thank you in advance .

Can we have confirmation of the dates. either 1861 or 1785 is wrong. Have checked marriages 1837 to 1890 and only thing remotely similar was a Ruth Irving (father Matthew Irving, farmer) who married a Stephen Thorburn on 22 July 1841. Presumably it is 1761.

Presume the poster means born 1761 and married 1785 - There is a baptism of a son Matthew Irwin 6 March 1785 Rockcliffe Cumberland to Matthew Irwin and Ruth.

This is probably the obituary notice - November 9th 1839 - Matthew Irving aged 78 years of Rockcliffe. Year of birth would be 1761.

Whoops, sorry, I did not realize that the 1861 should have read 1761. Thank you to the people that replied. I will now peruse the information, many thanks once again.
