The Family History of John & Elizabeth Irvine were researched and confirmed by Genealogist:

You may research John and Elizabeth Irvine's descendants personally by consulting the nearest LDS Family History Center.  Non-Mormons are welcome to use their vast genealogy records for no charge. We found Volunteers at the Centers to be most helpful.  Check your local phone directory for the location of the genealogy library of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints nearest you. You can also locate the nearest Family History Center by going to their internet website.       

Family History Centers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons)
Recorded in:  International Genealogical Index, 1994 Edition, Version 3.04  (IGI)
Search by Marriage:  John & Elizabeth Grassom, 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.
