John's parents were William and Mary Irwin. Their children were Helen, Minnie, William and John. They were from Glasgow, but originally from Ireland. The Shields and Williamson family John is connected to are also from Glasgow, but originally from Ireland as well. He could be connected on either side as my g.grandparents were first cousins, one's mother and the other's father were sister and brother. The Williamson family names are James Williamson and Agnes Shields, their children Elizabeth, Edward, Mary, Rachel and Helen, my g.grandmother, all these children were born in Glasgow. The brother's family is John Shields and Jane Gowdie. I am not entirely sure I have the right children, but have a listing for Isabella, Janet, Mary, Marion, Matthew and John. All the girls were born in Glasgow, the boys in Ireland. It has to be a girl named Mary that married William Irwin, but both sides have a Mary and I do not know which one she would be, or if I have the right family of children for the Shields, the parent's names are correct.
