Viscount of Irvine

Viscount of Irvine was a title in the Peerage of Scotland.[1] It was created on 23 May 1661 for Henry Ingram, of Temple Newsam, Yorkshire, and Hoar Cross Hall, Staffordshire. He was made Lord Ingram at the same time, also in the Peerage of Scotland.

Sir Arthur Ingram (c. 1565–1642), ancestor of the Viscounts of Irvine.

Henry was the grandson of Sir Arthur Ingram (c. 1565–1642), and on 7 June 1661 he married Essex, daughter of Edward (Montagu), 2nd Earl of Manchester by his third wife, Essex Cheke. Both of their sons succeeded to the Viscountcy, though the elder died in childhood. Lord Ingram's second son, the 3rd Viscount, was Member of Parliament for Scarborough and Yorkshire and served as Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire. He married Isabella, daughter of John Machell (MP for Horsham). Five of their sons, the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Viscounts, all succeeded in the titles. The 5th Viscount was also Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The 6th and 7th Viscounts were both Members of Parliament for Horsham and Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Dowager Isabella Ingram outlived all her sons and died in 1764 aged 94. The 8th Viscount was succeeded by his nephew, Charles, the 9th Viscount, the only son of Colonel the Honourable Charles Ingram, seventh son of the 3rd Viscount. The 9th Viscount also represented Horsham in Parliament, as did his father. The titles became extinct on his death in 1778.

The Honourable Isabella Ingram, eldest daughter of the 9th Viscount, was a mistress of George IV.

gollark: Somewhat open, they aren't telling people all the production details I guess. Not sure if anyone was asking for that.

gollark: The Moderna one *is* effectively open but nobody has actually done anything with it.

gollark: As far as I know the IP thing is a red herring. Moderna said they wouldn't enforce patents on their vaccine, but nobody else is manufacturing it, because it's actually quite hard: you need specialized knowledge and equipment which is hard to attain externally.
