Looks like my thoughts re are second marraige for Elizabeth was completely wrong and you will probably have already found the family in 1851 living at Pooley in Westmoreland.

Good Luck Kay

Julie this is the link

If you read through the newspapers that they have you'll find loads of Birth & Marriage announcments for Irvings. They were all over Cumberland especially Longtown.

Just read your above post saying you have no links for your Irvings. I have Irvigs from Longtown Cumberland in my tree. My great grandfather Robert was born there in 1852. There is a site that has loads of info about Cumberland. I'll find the link & post it for you. Feel free to PM me if you want to see if we have a connection.
