Title: Irvings in Alston
Post by: frances13 on Monday 10 February 14 15:03 GMT (UK)
From IGI I have found a Jonathan irving in Alston, about 1770. My Jonathan Irving appears in Flimby
as married to Elizabeth Bell 1799, and on 1841 census as birth 1771. I cannot find an earlier record for Jonathan in Flimby pre 1799 and presumption is that he could have come from Alston. Are there any other Irvings in Alston, I think a George Irving in FLimby may have been his brother but again no proof.

Any help would be appreciated as I am a long way from Carlisle records office.

Thank you
Frances

Just a holding note. Carlisle Record Office only has copies of the relevant records. Alston is in the Diocese of Newcastle and before that in Durham.

Thanks Trish

The more I am looking at this the less I think, Jonathan and possible George  came from Alston.
The only birth of Jonathan Irvin(g) was in Alston but I am now wondering if it should be Scotland.
