Please reply to Pat at Patricia@jervaulx.demon.co.uk, not to me. My name is Pat Lord (nee IREDALE) and I am carrying out a ONE NAME STUDY on the name IREDALE/IREDELL/IREDALL, which is registered with the GUILD This involves collecting together any data that I can find regarding people bearing this name. Obviously if this helps to put them into family groups, so much the better. As there were more people bearing this name in Cumberland in the 17th & early 18th century than in other regions, I am interested in hearing from anyone with any information, however small. The number of Iredales in Cumberland did not increase in line with the population increases of the 19th century but I understand there are still Iredales in Cumbria and more recent data or information will be equally welcome Hoping that someone , somewhere, has something for me Best wishes to your List Pat -- Patricia Anne Lord (nee IREDALE) Searching for IREDALES, IREDELLS (and other variants) worldwide Registered with the Guild Of One Name Studies

Patricia asked for a list of the Iredells in the 1641 Protestation Returns for Loweswater, so I might as well post them. The numbers are my own and indicate the list entry position. Waterend 27 Thomas Iredell Park 53 George Iredell 66 John Iredell 73 William Iredell 74 Thomas Iredell Middle Quarter 86 Peter Iredell 88 William Iredell 93 Thomas Iredell 94 William Iredell 95 Thomas Iredell Thackthwaite 102 John Iredell 105 Peter Iredell 109 William Iredell 110 Peter Iredell 113 John Iredell 114 Thomas Iredell 119 John Iredell Chris chris@dickinson.uk.net
