Harriet Johnston McIrvine. Mauritius
« on: Tuesday 23 October 18 12:44 BST (UK) »
I have details relating to a Harriet Johnston McIrvine born Mauritius 1865 to parents Rev George McIrvine & Isabella Garioch McIrvine (Ferguson). Any info for Harriet after her birth would be helpful.

Please do not waste any time on other members of Rev George McIrvine children as I have tracked them down, I'm just cannot locate any further info on Harriet.
