Search by Marriage: John & Elizabeth Grassam, Dec. 9, 1858.
The LDS Family History Center has the vital records for most of the immediate family of William Irvine's on microfilm. See their International Genealogical Index - Version 2.16 - British Isles for John and Elisabeth/Elizabeth (Gressam/Gressom) Irvine.
William Irvine's Individual Record shows the following LDS Ordinances:
Baptized 4/23/80, AZ; Endowed on 7/3/80, AZ; Sealed to Parents on 8/13/80,
AZ;
Batch C114831; Date 1855-1867; Source Call Number: See REG 941 V2 (Book)
A search of the LDS records showed that John and Elizabeth Irvine, husband and wife, were sealed to each other in LDS records; and all their children were Baptized, Endowed and Sealed to the parents, except for the youngest two, Helen and Janet, who are completely missing from the LDS records. LDS had no record of William Irvine's son, Archibald Irvine or his wife, Mary Jamieson, at the time our search was made.
