William (Bill) had two older sisters Jennie (b. 1888) and Minnie (b. 1890) who had immigrated to California in 1909.  Jennie married Harry Gallatin about 1913.  She died in Oakland California 16 January 1967.   I believe Minnie married Louis Meyer (facts to be confirmed).  She died in 1962 in Grass Valley, California.

    Hello , came across your webiste and noticed that your irvines came from Co Antrim. My own Irvines came fro that county to canda about 1844. What caught my eye is that you said your william irvine marrried his wife in Morrisburg Ontario. My Irvines were in that county (Dundas) also around winchester. Their names were Andrew and Nancy (Beggs) Irvine with their daughter Mary Ellen Irvine. Came to that part of Ontario sometime around 1844. Could their be a connection between my Irvines and yours?

    Hi David,
    The Beggs name seems so familiar. I remember family talking about a cousin that my grandmother used to visit in Ontario but I checked my database and don’t have the Beggs name. Let me talk to my mother and uncle and see if they remember.

    Thanks for your comment and for stopping by.
