Robert Irvine, death, July 30, 1875

[Peggy13]

Robert Irvine died July 30, 1875 in the town of Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY. Is there a death certificate naming parents, an obituary, or a community history book which gives more information about Robert? Looking for surviving siblings, in particular a married sister Eliza Johnston in Kinloss, Ontario. He was born in Co. Fermanagh, Ireland about 1821-1826. Wife was Annie nee McGregor who is on the 1880 census in Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY. Robert’s parents should be James Irvine and Elizabeth Hunter.
Thank you
Peggy

Robert Irvine died July 30, 1875 in the town of Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY.

Is this his grave in Canada? Are you sure he died in New York?

Added - Yes he does seem to be in Orange county in 1875 state census.

That would be a different Robert Irvine in Nova Scotia as mine was bapt Sept 23, 1821 in Tullycreevy, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland although most records indicate that he was born abt 1826. By some miracle, I found the court documents after his death which state that he died July 30, 1875, just after the 1875 census of June 9, 1875 in Blooming Grove, Orange Co., New York. His wife Annie and his children are named in the documents so I know it is the correct Robert. Hoping a death record might confirm his mother's name which I believe to be Elizabeth Hunter. His father was James. There is another Robert Irvine bapt 1823 in Magheraculmoney with parents James Irvine and Isabella Osborne, as per findmypast and I did not pay for that record.
I am hoping to confirm that Eliza Johnston nee Irvine/Irwin who was  living in Kinloss, Ontario at the time is his sister.

Perhaps the same Eliza that amondg mentioned, but perhaps you already have this…

Also from Anc*try
Ireland, select marriages
Eliza Irvine
Marriage Date: 15 March 1849
Marriage Place: 787, Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland
Father: James Irvine
Spouse: George Johnston

According to the 1911 census, Eliza’s husband was George Johnston. Dates for immigration look like George 1851, Eliza 1853.  Stated that she was age 92, born April 1819.

1901 census: she was age 78, born 10 April 1822.  Looks like she immigrated in 1860, husband immigrated in 1859.  They were Methodists.

Added: Eliza’s two children were Florence and Robert.  However, a William Johnston, brother, gave information for Florence’s death registration, so it appears that Eliza had at least three children.

Following on from Lisa in California

George and Eliza also had
Sarah  2 April 1860 -10 June 1940 married ?  Pattieson   parents named on death certificate
Annie married  Thomas Ferris 24 October 1888

I think Robert from the census is William Robert 14 September 1864 buried 27 April 1946 wife Ellen Rebecca Culbert. Ref: Death certificate

Florence 1863- 12 December 1936 never married.

There may be more however these were the death certificates found on ancestry with parents names.

Thank you amondg and Liza in 345 California. I have rechecked the marriage record of George Johnston to Eliza Irvine in 1849. Eliza is from Tullycreevey and her father is James.

I have also rechecked the marriage record of Robert Irvine to Ann McGregor and he is from Tullycreevey, father, James. But is it the same James. I do think so, but….
