I'm looking for any information on my Great Grandfather Archibald Irvine who was born in 1871 in Shetlands. He was married to Elizabeth Balfour, Tamer White, and Rosalie Jarvoice Thwaites. I am looking for any information at all on any of these people or their relatives.

This is definately him! Thank you for helping me. After his wife Rosalie died he put up all the children for adoption and one of them being my Grandma Rhona Lesley Irvine. My Gran has found some of her siblings but not all of them. So I'm trying to help her find out that and hopefully it will lead me to them if still alive. My Gran has never seen what her Mom Rosalie looks like and shes 80. Thank you all for helping I really appreciate it!
