Hi Edgar I'm trying to locate parents of a Thomas Iredale who married in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1750. I believe he was born in Cumberland around 1722. His grandson was called Martin but have not located the source of this relatively 'rare' christian name in the family history. So I was very interested in your message regarding a Thomas Iredell born in Workington 1673/4 the son of a Martin Iredell. Do you have any other information about these Workington Iredales/Iredells -which I have not come across before?
Regards Chris Watson.
