General Notes:
The only birth record in the Texas Birth Index for an Irby child born on this date is for Jimmie Mae Irby, Hopkins County. Parents John A. Irby and Fannie Mae Deshain (error). The 1930 census has Johnie M. Irby 9/12 old with parents Alva and Fannie Irby in Hopkins County, Texas. Jonnie Mae was used on Carolyn's birth record, Johnie Mae on Susan and Gwyn's. She told me the correct spelling is Jonnie. Her parents were John Alva Irby and Fannie Mae Despain.--Rose Lee Wall 2009
