Biography

Family Tree. ^{[1] [2]}

Gravestone in St Mungo's Kirkyard indicates born 1771.

On William Bell-Irving's death, in 1808, he was succeeded by his son, John Bell Irving, who served in the Borer Yeomanry during the Wars of Napoleon. ^[3]

John married Margaretta Ogle in 1802. ^[4]

The old spirit of litigation seems to have a preoccupation with no less than 16 lawsuites going on at one time. With these and 12 children to raise he must have been a busy man. He died aged 78 in 1849 (born 1771), leaving his property of Whitehill and Dukes Close to William Ogle and Bankside to John, who was in practice as a surgeon in Lamberhurst, Sussex.
