His father was Samuel Irvine b1914 - d1940 Belfast
His Father was Francis married Rosana 18/8/1864 Ballylinny N.Ireland
His Father was Francis, but I cannot find any details.

Yes PH thank you, they're the ones I'm asking about

I thought that the marriage of 1864 and the GF birth of 1874 was some distant, but he had siblings.

I am David Galwy Irvine
Father was Samuel Galway Irvine
GF was Samuel Galway Irvine
Have often thought that the Galway was a corruption of Galloway
The clerk / registar writes down what he hears.

Thank you PH x

I see in the Ballynure marriage record that GGF Francis
is down as Francis Ervin

In the 1911 census it says he is illiterate, cannot read or write
Quite humbling

Previous thread on this family was brought to the same point.
Rosanna's maiden name was Galloway

I had asked elsewhere previously PH
but it came to a dead end at GGGF Francis
Which is my thread heading under search for ancestors.
