David Report 21 Mar 2017 15:02

I have mentioned this topic before and may have upset one or two because I mentioned it on more than one thread. To anyone and everyone I upset/offended, I apologise.
However the brick wall remains and Id appreciate some guidance from people who are better at this topic than I am. My family name is IRVINE
I am David b1945 son of Samuel.
Samuel b1918-d1990 was son of Samuel born Belfast NI
Samuel b1874-d1940 was son of Francis
Francis was also son of Francis says so on his wedding certificate
The trail goes stone cold no dates that I can find.

Any one fancy a challenge ?

They are my great grand parents.

Roanna probably assisted my GM Sarah McClarnon as she gave to my Father Samuel

Thank you ArgyllGran, safc, malyon and others.

I did apologise then and now for breaching the same subject on different threads at different times.

I'm obviously not the tidiest of posters.
