Thanks Cwellan for your help. Mostly got it sorted. I found the father of the second Henry in the 1901 census also called Henry aged 86 and living with his son Joseph  in Ballyness.
A will for Mary Jane Irwin who lived in the adjoining townland of Ballymacallion died 1878 ( proni  will image on line ) gives enough information to show that the two  Henry Irwin  families are related.

Hello Mary hope you are still checking out Rootschat as I have information regarding John Love Allen. John Allen was born July 1907 Yorkshire where his father was working at that time. His father was Joseph Allen 1860-1924 and mother was Martha Jane Ross 1869-1948. The Allen family lived at Ballyrisk , Limavady, Co Derry where members of the family still farm. Joseph and Martha are buried in the Reformed Pres. Church, Limavady were they have a headstone.
John Allen was one of 12 siblings. You have a large number of relatives in the USA, and also relatives in and around the Limavady area.
