Thanks for all reply’s. I think this is now confirmed Irwin is the surname!!

findings:

Elizabeth Irwin who married William could well be the daughter of a Spraggon Irwin.

The 1881 census has a Spraggon Irwin and family living in Walker. Among his children is a 3 year old Elizabeth Irwin, born Walker.

All looks good.


When you follow Spraggon back on Census I think you will find this is his Parents Marriage;
11 Nov 1827, St Andrew, Hexham
Jane SPRAGGON
George IRWIN

The church code on the Elizabeth Irwin marriage in 1899 indicates marriage took place at a non-Anglican venue.  Perhaps this might have been at a registry office or an RC Church/Methodist etc.
