Recently a family member has come across part of our family that she had never heard of before and apparently the persons are from a place named Teesdale and something called forest on frith,the family is tne Ireland and the Tarn families but there is alot of controversy around them and shes not sure whats true and whats not.This is the limited information she has managed to gather which is not much.
Johnathan Ireland born 1777 and died 1824,he is supposed to have an illegimate son Joseph Ireland to a tamar tarn from a place called kirkwood ? in teesdale area.
the confusion starts after their son Joesph[born 1803-1869] married Elizabeth Cousins.
They had 6 children JONATHAN,ELIZABETH THOMAS TAMAR HANNAH AND JANE.
JONATHAN[s/o Joseph&Elizabeth Ireland had a son named Jonathan but he was baptised a Tarn[dob 1828 death 1866] and his brother Thomas 1833 1914] WAS BAPTISED tARN ALIAS iRELAND ]
