«i»William Irwin or Irwin William Munro, left his family in India in the 1930s or 1940s. He was quite good looking, with ... light blonde hair and light eyes and a slim or athletic build. In India, William/Irwin was a prominent chemist. His wife's name was Olivia and his daughters ... were Betty, still living at 95, and ... Jean (d. 2004). Unfortunately, he left no forwarding address and family members have been unable to find a grave or death records in India.
There is a Brodie connection. The Brodies were much darker in complexion, and a couple of family members were doctors ... «/i»[William/Irwin] «i»was educated at Edinburgh University, where he was an outstanding student. He came to India and met «/i»[Olivia].«i» At first, they were happy, but Irwin/William joined a secret society - he rose to the highest rank - and here he began drinking. The drinking became quite a problem. He would work for a few weeks and then take off, eventually not returning at all. His family was devastated. «/i»
