Title: Irwin family Roscommon
Post by: gervaise on Thursday 03 April 25 02:04 BST (UK)
Hi,

Some in my Irwin family dna match with an Eliza Irwin b. 1846 in Roscommon.
She married a James Shaw but I don't think we were related to him.
Some of us also dna match with an Eleanor Ellen Matilda Irwin b. 1826 whose father was James. She died in 1889 at Boyle. She married an Archibald Haire.
I believe that these Irwin are related to my William Irwin b.c. 1796 in Ireland and emigrated to Scotland by 1826.

Hoping someone can help with identifying Eliza's parents.

Regards, Gervaise

Note that records are Sligo but the registration district is Boyle.

Eliza’s marriage - James Shaw is transcribed as James Shane on the site

Her father - James Irwin and her residence,  Drumrulla.
Likely to be Drumrolla https://www.townlands.ie/sligo/corran/kilshalvy/kilshalvy/drumrolla/

From an online tree, I see that Eliza’s first daughter was Ellen.

This may be her mother.
There is a death here for Eleanor Irwin of Drumrolla

The informant is Arthur Taylor. Here is a marriage for Arthur Taylor and Mary Anne Irwin - father James

Thanks Heywood

You have added a new name of Taylor who married into the family and given me some extra information.

It is interesting that they all married by Licence. I guess the middle classes like their privacy.

I am glad to help you gather a bit more information.
I hope I have also given you Eliza’s birthplace, father’s name and possible mother’s name as requested.
