I am descended from David Ivison who died on June 2rd 1833 at Jerriestown. "Quiet' family stories say that he hung himself in the kitchen but I can't find any refence to this. Does anyone know more? Spencer Ivison seems to have emigrated to the US that year. Is there any connection?Incidentally I was sent to the Quaker school in Wigton in 1949 because of the Ivison connection in spite of my line being expelled for marrying out of the faith. The school is now closed after over 150 years of educating children. Spencer Ivison was educated there and 2 Ivison girls were amongst the first pupils in 1815
