Henry Ingram, 1st Viscount of Irvine

Henry Ingram (1640-1666) was the first to hold the title Lord Ingram, and Viscount Irvine, in the Peerage of Scotland, which in English sources is usually written Viscount Irwin. The Viscountcy existed in four generations of his family before becoming extinct: the seat was at Temple Newsam near Leeds, in Yorkshire.

Henry Ingram's father, Sir Arthur Ingram junior of Temple Newsam (died 1655), was son of the notable landowner and Member of Parliament Sir Arthur Ingram the elder (1565-1642). The elder Sir Arthur purchased Temple Newsam in 1622 and, through a destruction by fire in March 1635/6, rebuilt the mansion over the next 20 years, incorporating part of the house formerly belonging to the Earls and Dukes of Lennox in which Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, father of King James I, had been born in 1545.

The younger Sir Arthur was eldest son of the father's first marriage, to Susan (daughter of Richard Brown), who died in 1613. Sir Arthur (junr.) was the elder half-brother of Sir Thomas Ingram (1614-1672) (son of Alice Ferrers), who became Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster 1664-1672. The elder Sir Arthur made a third marriage, to Mary, daughter of Sir Edward Greville of Milcote: Dame Mary lived down to 1661. The younger Arthur was Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1629-30, and inherited at his father's death in 1642. His first wife was Eleanor, daughter of Sir Henry Slingsby of Redhouse, Yorkshire, MP.

Henry Ingram, baptized at Whitkirk, Yorkshire in 1641, was the third of four sons (and three daughters) of Sir Arthur (junr.) by Eleanor, who died in 1647. Later in the same year Sir Arthur remarried to Katherine, second daughter of Thomas Fairfax, 1st Viscount Fairfax of Emley: she died in February 1666/7. Soon after Sir Arthur's death, 1655, the eldest son having died in infancy, the second son Thomas Ingram married Mary, daughter of Watkinson Payler of Thoralby and his wife, a sister of Katherine Fairfax. However Mary died almost immediately, and Thomas the son died in 1660, so that Henry became the heir to Sir Arthur at the age of 20, inheriting Temple Newsam and other estates.
