Find Ancestors

I'm researching my family tree on my Fathers side.

Father was born Belfast Northern Ireland 1918 and died in England 1990
His name is SAMUEL GALWAY IRVINE

His Father was also Samuel Irvine b1874 - d1940
Samuel senior's wife was Sarah McLarnon d1941

Samuel senior's Father was named Francis Irvine, dates uncertain

Francis Irvine's Father was also Francis Irvine, dates uncertain

Records of their being must exist or were they all destroyed?

Samuel Galway Irvine seems popular on google search...(if anything new relating amongst!)

Chris :)

Which of these is likely (if any) to be Samuel senior?

Forename of child Surname of child Date of birth Sex of child Mother's maiden name Registration district

Samuel Irvine 5th January 1873 Male Evans Belfast(pre-1973 Q4)

Samuel Irvine 2nd May 1873 Male Mawhiney Antrim(pre-1973 Q4)

Samuel Irvine 4th February 1874 Male McCormac Newtownards(pre-1973 Q4)

Samuel Irvine 19th May 1874 Male Galloway Antrim(pre-1973 Q4)

Samuel Irvine 9th November 1874 Male Irvine Strabane(pre-1973 Q4)

Samuel Irvine 13th December 1874 Male McKnight Downpatrick(pre-1973 Q4)

Samuel Irvine 12th June 1875 Male Rodgers Lisburn(pre-1973 Q4)

Above results from https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/

When you ask if all records were destroyed, what type of records are you referring to?

If census, then generally only the 1901 and 1911 census for Ireland have survived.

Thank you, infant Samuel was named after his Father and my Father b1918 was also named Samuel, Mother's name Sarah McLarnon, he had 2 older sisters

Samuel senior died 1940 in Purdeysburn Hospital, his wife a year later.

Samuel senior's Father was named Francis husband of Rosanna Galloway
They too live in Osborne Street at the time of my Father's birth..

Samuel senior was born 1874 d1940

Francis was a weaver, ancestry uncertain but I believe his Father was also Francis.

Marie Celeste, the Samuel senior I'm referring to is one of those born 1874

David, I think rather than "one of those born 1874" he's most likely the one born 19 May 1874, as found on your previous enquiry in 2012 and as I've re-posted above.

I think it's quite possible that Samuel jnr's middle name of Galway is actually a corruption of Galloway - his paternal grandmother's maiden name.

Could you be a bit more specific as to what information you're looking for - over and above what has previously been found?

Thank you sincerely <3 <3

I should explain, I've searched fathers' ancestry before but not for a long time.

I've been off this site a long time for one reason and another. I've lost or given away records from previous searches while I've been away..

Are the results you have been kind enough to post available through this site or elsewhere?

Thank you MarieCeleste, thank you Austin, your help is much appreciated.

Thank you again /..I had no idea Father had siblings
and obviously must have been born to other than Sarah M McLarnon
