Who were the Irish Ingertons?
Family 1: Thomas and Anne McDonnell of Roscrea
This family featured in a previous post From Roscrea to Wellington via Leeds
Their family spread far and wide from Ireland to Lancashire, Leeds, New Zealand and Australia. They used the names Hingerton, Ingerton and Hingerty.
Family 2: William (1838-1891) and Mary Foley (1846-1904) of Clare, Limerick and Cork.
This family featured in a previous post Who are the Ingertons of the USA? since some of their children emigrated to the USA, while others stayed on in Ireland.
There could be an Ingerton male still alive in Ireland today (born in 1934) who descends from their grandson Michael Christopher Ingerton (1898-1965)- if you know of this family line, please contact me......
Family 3: James Ingerton 1793-1891.
James lived a long life.
There are no known records for him prior to his first marriage to Helen Anworth at Longford, Ireland in February 1839.
He seems to have had a military career prior to his marriage as he is listed as receiving an army pension from his service in the 99th Foot Regiment from 1841 until his death and he listed as 'pensioner' on other records across his life.
As there were six regiments in the British Army numbered as the 99th Regiment of Foot, it is unknown which of these regiments James served in and therefore where he would have served.
James was living in a house owned by James Hyde 1854-1878 in Longford and was involved in a series of court cases relating to the lease of the house.
In September 1857 at the age of 64 James married for a second time in Longford. His bride was Mary Mulleady.
Mary died in 1868 and James married for a third time in September 1870 at the age of 77.
His new bride was Esther Howard and his father was listed as Edward Ingerton Labourer on the marriage record.
Is this the Edward Ingerton Baptised in Dublin in 1793 with parents John Ingerton and Rachel?

| Record on irishgenealogy.ie |
James died 9 Feb 1891 at Longford.
For all his long life and three marriages, James had few children who lived to adulthood.
It is unlikely that there are any Ingerton name bearer descendants of James alive today.
An Esther Ingerton married Denis Byrne in Dublin. The couple had a child Esther Ellen Byrne in Dublin in 1890. Is this Esther Ingerton the widow of James?
Family 4: William Ingerton
A nineteen year old William Ingerton was discharged due to an injury to his left arm from the Dublin County Regiment of Militia during the Irish rebellion. He had served one year and three months. His occupation was listed as sawyer. His birth details are listed as 1779 Shelrone, Offaly.
On 12 December 1831 at St Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral parents William Ingerton and Isabella presented their child Ellen Ingerton for Baptism.
In March 1852 South Dublin, Ellen Ingerton married Edward Hammond. Ellen's father was listed as William Ingerton sawyer.
Nothing more is known of this William or his family.
Various Other Ingertons:
Ann Ingerton married Richard Brady 29 August 1827 in Dublin.
Ellen Ingerton married James McGuiggan 7 June 1842 in Dublin.
Jeremiah Ingerton was charged in Nenagh court in 1903 with striking another man on the forehead with a stone.
A 77 year old bachelor Jeremiah Ingerton died in Nenagh in 1935. Who is Jeremiah?
While we are thinking about mystery Irish Ingertons..... there are a few very early English Ingertons that have no known family groups on the tree:
* 1673 Samual Ingerton a 2nd Mate on the ship Broughton 1700-19 Company of Royal Adventurers of England Trading with Africa. Who is this adventurer?
* 1722 marriage of Richard Ingerton in Westminster, London.
* 1737 Burial of Thomas Ingerton at Edenham, Lincolnshire.
and then there is John Ingerton...
John Ingerton Military Man of Mystery
This John Ingerton was in the 3rd Dragoons. His army and pension records detail his many changes of residence across the years:
12 Dec 1849 Corporal transferred to Canada from Newcastle
22 Dec 1849 Admission to permanent pension- London, Newcastle, Dublin, Melbourne all listed on the record.
Feb 1850 3rd Dragoons. Permanent pension transferred to Manchester from Hull.

Oct 1856 Transferred from London to Newcastle Upon Tyne
30 October 1856 Transferred from Newcastle to Dublin.

Is he the John Ingerton with the fancy whiskers charged in court for fraud in Melbourne in 1857?
See post for copies of the newspaper articles Ingertons of Australia
Is he the John Ingerton who sailed from Melbourne to London in 1869?
If you know of any of these mysterious Ingertons or any Ingertons in Ireland...

UPDATE April 2024: SUCCESS!
An Ingerton male descendant of Thomas Hingerton/Hingerty (who lived in Roscrea, Tipperary in the 1800s) took a BigY700 test at Family Tree DNA.
The results became available in April 2024.
The results show that this descendant shares a direct common male ancestor with 11 Hingerty testers (who represent each of the 4 Hingerty family branches with living males in the world today).
It is currently estimated that this common ancestor would have been born about 1700.
These results show that the surnames Hingerty, Hingerton and Ingerton are closely related.
In the 1700s they shared a single male ancestor.
Now we need a Hingerton tester and an Ingerton tester from the USA, to make more connections between these rare surnames.
