| Notes |
- Not yet proven to Henry Ingram, but placed here as high probability to be related, living only
about a mile from Stretton, where Henry Ingram of Stretton was known to have lived.
Last name spelled as "Hyngram" in 1381 Staffordshire poll tax records. This spelling
is consistent with Ingram families living in Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire in the 1300-1400
timeframe. Geographically also aligned with Ingram families in Worcestershire.
John Ingram is listed in 1381 Lapely and Aston Wheaton Staffordshire poll tax records
as "Johannes Hyngram", "Clericus Ecclesi" with wife Alicia.
The loose definition of "Clericus Ecclesi" is that of a congregational clerk of a church/parish.
Latin: Clericus. Meaning "persons ordained for religious work" is from circa 1300.
This opportunity was typically granted to well-born youths to hold ecclesiatical benefices.
May be related to Adam de Ingram of Chester; who is listed in the same Staffordshire records
in 1365 that John Ingram is listed in, assuming this John Ingram is identical to the one listed
in Lapley Poll Tax records.
Orders celebrated in the prebendal Church of Colewych listed a John Ingram as a
"order of minors" in April 1365. Colwich is located 7 miles NE of Penkridge.
Orders celebrated in the prebendal Church of St. John, Chester listed a John Ingram
as a "order of minors" for Lichfield in Oct 1368.
Orders celebrated in the Prebendal Church of Colewych by Robert Bishop Prisinen,
on Saturday of the Four Times in September, viz., xi. Kal. Jan. 1370. John Ingram is
listed, but not as order of minors; but in the section or area of priests.
The village of Lapley is less than a mile from Stretton, and less than 4 miles from Penkridge.
"Lapley is a small village, seated on a pleasant eminence, three and a half miles SW by W of Penkridge, including within its parish 952 inhabitants, and 3740 acres of land, in the two townships of Lapley and Wheaton Aston which constitute a manor of which FH Swinfen, Esq, is lord, and owner of 1000 acres. GB Thorneycroft, Esq, E Wigan, Esq, and many smaller owners have estates in the parish, mostly copyholds.
Lapley had a Priory of Black Monks, which Algar, Earl of Mercia and Chester, bestowed on the Abbey of Saint Remigus, at Rheims, in the time of Edward the Confessor, but having shared the fate of the alien priories in the reign of Henry I, it became the property of the college of Tong, in Shropshire. It was suppressed by Henry V, and in the civil wars, the Priory House was fortified and garrisoned for the King, under the command of Captain Smith, but in 1645 it was dismantled under a parliamentary order. Some remains may still be seen in the walls of an old house near the church.
Wheaton Aston is a large but irregularly built village, near the canal, one and a half miles W of Lapley, and five miles WSW of Penkridge. It is the most populous part of the parish, containing 706 souls and 2170 acres. In 1777, nearly half of this village was burnt down, by the thatch, which covered the houses, taking fire. But it was soon rebuilt, and the new houses covered with tiles. Fairs for cattle and swine, etc, are held here on April 20th and November 1st, and a wake on Trinity Sunday."
- (Research):
By 1354, the Black Death and a great fire had brought the priory to extremity. Baldwin owed arrears of £77 13s. 3¾d, and an inquiry established that the manor of Lapley was worth only £11 14s. 10d. Baldwin was pardoned the arrears, although he needed to ask for this to be repeated several more times before his death, around 1361. The next prior, Peter de Gennereyo, a monk of St. Rémy, made the remarkable contribution of 120 marks to the parent abbey in 1367 but was forced to redeem the priory when it was seized again in 1369. He came to a regular arrangement and this spared him a further problem when most of the other alien houses were seized in 1378 and their occupants expelled from the country. He was permitted to stay and manage Lapley. This was short-lived relief, however, as the Richard II gave the priory to his esquire, Robert de Hampton in 1384, and Peter was forced to rent it back from him for two years.

William Ingram prebend of Torleton (Tarton), a hamlet in Gloucestershire. Canon resided there 1427.
Also of Highworth, Wiltshire/Gloucestershire
The 201 pieces of silver including beautiful arm rings, worn by Viking warriors, were found on the outskirts of Silverdale, a village near the coast in north Lancashire, by Darren Webster, using the metal detector his wife gave him as a Christmas present. It adds up to more than 1kg of silver, probably stashed for safe keeping around AD900 at a time of wars and power struggles among the Vikings of northern England, and never recovered.
Airdeconut – thought to be the Anglo Saxon coin maker's struggle to get to grips with the Viking name Harthacnut – was found on one of the coins in the hoard.
The Airdeconut coin also reveals that within a generation of the Vikings starting to colonise permanent settlements in Britain in the 870s – instead of coming as summer raiders – their kings had allied themselves to the Christian god. The reverse of the coin has the words DNS – for Dominus – Rex, arranged as a cross.
The hoard is regarded as among the best found this century, and the fact that it was never recovered suggests its owner came to an untimely end.
The North West has long been known to have special links with the Vikings going back over a thousand years, through archaeological evidence, ancient manuscripts, local surnames and placenames such as 'Thingwall' from the Old Norse 'ping-vollr' meaning 'meeting place'. It's believed many of the Vikings, of mainly Norwegian origin, ended up in the region after being expelled from Ireland in AD902.
The new book tells the story of how 21st century genetic methods have been used in conjunction with historical and linguistic evidence to investigate the Viking ancestry of Wirral and neighbouring West Lancashire. Rigorous DNA analysis of samples of the local population, focusing on people who had surnames present in the regions prior to 1600, has scientifically proved that the Vikings settled heavily in the area and left a huge genetic legacy which survives and continues today.
The researchers' new 'Norse saga' unfolded as they carried out cheek swab DNA tests on around 100 men from the area who had local surnames dating back hundreds of years, some taken from a tax register from the time of King Henry VIII. Other lists of old names included people contributing to the stipends of priests, alehouse records and criminal records, for example the namesake of one of the authors is accused in 1348 of vandalising hedges (found not guilty!). Only men were chosen because they carry the Y-chromosome, DNA on which is passed down the paternal line from father to son with little or no change, unlike the other chromosomes.
The results found that up to 50 per cent of the DNA from the men of both Old Wirral and Old West Lancashire ancestry was indeed Viking in origin. The full scientific study appeared in the leading journal 'Molecular Biology and Evolution' but has now been put into context for a wider audience in this new, full colour-illustrated book which pulls together all the evidence, both scientific and historical.

half of land, and twenty-six acres of land and eight acres of meadow,
answered as tenants, and stated he entered by a feoffment of one John de

made no claim to it, and held nothing in it on the day the writ was served,
viz., 20th November, 7 E. II., and that the said Eobert and Margaret were then
seised of it, and he appealed to a jury. The jury stated that the said four
messuages, two and a half virgates, and twenty-six acres of land, and eight
acres of meadow were formerly in seisin of one Ralph de Hyengham, who died
seised of them in demesne as of fee, and after his death the said John de Ratyndene
