Rewrite by an historian?[edit]

I suspect that "investment consultant" is not a term much in use in the C17. Could somebody with rather more understanding of the subject than me please give the biography some attention? --GhostInTheMachine (talk) 19:42, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revision of early 2017[edit]

Unfortunately the revision made by an editor early in 2017 is heavily based on the History of Parliament article on Sir Arthur Ingram and, while abolishing much of the former Wikipedia article, has imported a large amount of the phraseology from HoP uncritically and without rewriting or introducing suitable new reference material. This article therefore now needs substantially more work doing to it than it did when that revision was made, to strip out these copyings and to set the information in proper chronological order.

Thanks[edit]

Very much better, thank you for the comprehensive rewrite. GhostInTheMachine (talk) 20:44, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion and mixing up of dates[edit]

From another source, I have knowledge of several Sir Arthur's (common name for four generations) and can understand where the confusion came from because there are several mistakes in this page. For starters, I don't know which of the Arthur Ingram's this page is about. Based on the dates given, I would think it was the father of Richard Ingram (who's grandon migrated to America in the late 1600s) but given some personal information I would think it was about Arthur FitzHugh Ingraham who was born in 1450 through his parents were Hugh Arthur Ingraham and Lady Anne Goldthorpe. Further confusion comes from the fact that the first Arthur I mentioned, mother was named Frances Goldthorpe.

To clarify the names of these Ingram's son's it goes: with approximate birthdates.

Robert De Ingram bn. 1360 Unknown Wife

William Ingraham bn. 1400 Married Catherine Ingleby

Hugh Arthur Ingraham bn. 1430 Married Lady Anne Goldthorpe

Arthur FitzHugh Ingraham bn. 1450 Unknown wife

Sir Hugh Arthur the Elder Ingraham bn. 1490 Married Joan Barrowby

Sir Hugh Arthur the Younger Ingram bn. 1530 Married Frances "Anne" Goldthorpe

Arthur Ingraham or Ingram Sir Controller of The Customs of The Port of London bn, 1550 Married Lady Eleanor Slingsby

Richard Ingram (Ingraham) Bn. 9 April 1600 (his grandson migrated)
