For the mother of Thomas Edmund Ervin, we have two choices showing:

  1. Mary Ervin, daughter of Robert McIlrath and Elizabeth McIlrath
  2. Margaret Mcllrath, daughter of Goerge Ervin and Magaret Maxwell

Would anyone like to determine which is correct? Margaret and her parents have no sources; Mary and her parents have no sources, but Mary has a photo and Elizabeth has dates.

Hi Ashley,
I have a copy of the book titled ‘The Family History of Thomas Edmund Ervin (1850-1915) and Mary Ervin (née McIlrath (1855-1935) It begins with John Ervin 18th Century, lived and died at Tullyglush’, Parish of Garavaghy - Baron of Lower Iveagh, County of Down, Northern Ireland.. do not know his wife’s name.
They had a son James Ervin (1780-1868) of Tullyglush who married Nancy McIlrath of Castlevennon in County Down. They had 5 children - John, George, Margaret, Jane and Mary.
George Ervin married Margaret Maxwell, daughter of Matthew Maxwell of Aughnaskeogh in County Down. Together they had 11 children and Thomas Edmund Ervin was the second oldest. he married Mary McIlrath and they had 9 children. My grandfather Edmund Ervin was the second youngest child.

I hope this helps. If you have any other queries, my email address is tonyw1956@hotmail.com

Regards,

Tony Williams
