Surnames: Irwin, Chaffee, Lawson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CkB.2ACI/2328 Message Board Post: I am trying to find information about William J. Irwin. He was my wife's father. Neither she, or her other siblings could tell me much as he left when they were very young. On the marriage license to Geraldine Chaffee. He stated he was from Belle, Texas. The story goes he was working for a carnival. My wife is deceased, but her sister thought he was a few years younger than their mother. She was born in 1904. That is the extent om my info. Dean Lawson Pocomoke City Md.
