William John Irwin (great-grandfather) born Ireland 1840, possibly in or near Cork. Seeking information on his Irish forebears. Moved to London and appears first in the 1871 Census. Only one sibling known: Anna M. Irwin b. Ireland c1846, who was in England and unmarried at the time of the 1881 Census. Father: John Irwin (clerk) known to be deceased at the time of William’s marriage in London in 1880 to Elizabeth Foreman. Died Camberwell 1895. Brickwall! Any help appreciated.
