graham irwin: family history research list
I am also a keen family historian – when I find the time. A list of the names I am researching is given below. I am particularly keen to find ancestors of Robert Irwin (or Irvine) of Moree, Desertcreat, Co Tyrone, c. 1697 to 10 Feb 1744, who is said to have been descended from the Irvines of Drum, Aberdeen.

(increasing in sunshine and shade)
Here are a couple of incomplete descendent trees:
- descendents of Robert Irwin (7 generations)
- descendents of John Oddboy (6 generations).
Drumglass House, near Dungannon, Co Tyrone; home of
the Irwin family from 1764 until 1906
and before that the property of the Hamilton ancestors.
Ruins and derelict buildings at Moree, Desertcreat,
Co Tyrone,
believed to be the site of the home of the Irwin family in the 18th and
19th centuries.
Perhaps the arch in the foreground is part of the original structure.
