What is recorded here
James McIlroy is a birthplace in Ulster, County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps a boy named James drew his first breath there on November 3, 1879, before becoming a British surgeon. Maybe the ordinary room where he arrived still holds the ghost of that sudden entry into the world.
Why this person is known: British surgeon (1879–1968)
