About Henry Ingram, 7th Viscount of Irvine

Lived 1691 – 1761 (aged 69). Henry Ingram, 7th Viscount of Irvine was a British politician.

Henry Ingram, 7th Viscount of Irvine (30 April 1691 – 4 April 1761), styled The Honourable Henry Ingram until 1736, was an English landowner and politician.

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. He was returned to Parliament for Horsham in 1721 (succeeding his elder brother Arthur), a seat he held until 1736, when he succeeded Arthur in the viscountcy. 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. and was succeeded in the viscountcy by his brother George (the sixth son). The Viscountess of Irvine (Anne, wife of the 7th Viscount) died in March 1766.

The portrait of Henry Ingram, 7th Viscount Irwin and his wife Anne, by Philippe Mercier, is at Temple Newsam.
