Facts and Events
[edit] Name and RelationshipsName: Robert Irwin. Source is ... Parents: Robert and Mary Irwin are listed as the parents of WILLIAM Robert Irwin in his 1873 marriage registration. They are also listed as parents of Elliott Irwin in his 1875 and 1877 marriage registrations and as the parents of Margaret Jane Irwin in her 1874 and 1888 marriage registrations. Have been unable to find a source that connects Robert Irwin to his parents. Note: While the parents of Elliot and Margaret Jane are listed as Robert and Mary Irwin, it appears unlikely that they were related. Otherwise, when Mary Irwin went with her sons to Magnetawan, she would have taken these children with her and she did not. [edit] Personal History1812 - Birth: birth needs to be confirmed. 1848 - Immigration: In 1848, Mary Irwin and her son Hugh Irwin immigrated to Canada. Source is 1901 Canada census. However, the 1911 census says that both she and Hugh Irwin immigrated in 1862. NOTE: While not explicitly sourced, it appears that Robert and Mary Irwin immigrated to Canada in 1848 with their two children, William and Hugh. 1852 - Death and Burial: Death in July 1852 in Goderich needs to be confirmed. - Cannot locate a death record. (However it is unlikely there would be one because it was not required prior to 1869 in Ontario.) CHECK TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT HE IS BURIED IN ONE OF THE GODERICH CEMETERIES. -- NO IRWINS BURIED IN MAITLAND CEMETERY -- A NUMBER OF IRWINS BURIED IN DUNGANNON CEMETERY BUT NO ROBERT IRWIN -- A FEW IRWINS BURIED IN COLBORNE CEMETERY BUT NO ROBERT IRWIN -- SOME IRWINS BURIED IN CLINTON CEMETERY BUT NOT THE CORRECT ROBERT IRWIN -- LOTS OF IRWINS BURIED IN ASHFIELD CEMETERY, BUT NOT THE CORRECT ROBERT IRWIN Cannot find any trace of Robert and Mary Irwin prior to 1871 census when she shows up in Chapman Valley |
