My name is Wayland Leroy Irby Sr. and I am the tenth generation from William Irby. As a Son of the American Revolution my lineage is
documented and proven. Twenty five years have been spent in the histroy of the Irby's
in the U.S. and in England. In England north
of Lincolnshire is the township of IRBY.
The name IRBY means.... by the bay..at which the estate of one Sir Anthony lived and which then came to be attached to his Given name Anthony; hence Sir Anthony Irby who is buried at the "Parish church of St. Boston
Diocese of Linclonshire. We have traveled to England and have pictures and documentions of this. The present Earl of Boston is one
