Henry Ingram, 7th Viscount of Irvine

[1][2] Irvine was the fourth son of Arthur Ingram, 3rd Viscount of Irvine, by Isabella Machell, daughter of John Machell, Member of Parliament for Horsham, of Hills, Sussex.

[3][4] This was a Scottish peerage and did not entitle him automatically to a seat in the House of Lords although he was forced to resign his seat in Parliament as Scottish peers were barred from sitting in the House of Commons.

He also succeeded Arthur as Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, which he remained until his death.

He died in April 1761, aged 69,[5] and was succeeded in the viscountcy by his brother George (the sixth son).
