IRWIN Family - Proton & Artemesia Townships, Grey Co.
Posted Mar 12, 2000 4:26 PM
Seeking further information on the family of JOHN IRWIN & JANE ?, originally immigrating from Ireland. Actual death dates and place of burial remains undetermined.
JOHN & JANE IRWIN likely settled in Proton Township in the early 1850's. They had two known children - namely, Sarah Irwin; John Irwin Jr.
SARAH IRWIN was born 1832 in Ireland and died possibly in Grey County after 1895. She married in 1858, THOMAS REID of Proton Township. They had a family of four known children - William James Reid, Margaret Reid, Susan Reid and Sarah Reid.
JOHN IRWIN JR. was born 1841 in Ireland and died 1907 in Proton Township. He married Jane Nixon (1847 - 1929). They had at least three children - namely, Mary Jane Irwin (1871 - 1888); Sarah (1876 - 1921) Mrs. William Moffat; and Wesley Irwin (1871 - 1961). All of this family is buried in the Ventry Cemetery, in Proton Township.
I am seeking death dates for John & Jane Irwin. And I am also trying to determine further family members other than those related above.
