The history of the last name Ingalsbe

The surname Ingalsbe is of English origin, tracing its roots back to the medieval period. It is believed to have originated from a place name, possibly a village or hamlet, in one of the northern counties of England. The name is thought to be derived from the Old English words "inga" meaning "meadow" or "pasture" and "leah" meaning "woodland clearing" or "meadow."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ingalsbe can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Northumberland, dating back to the 13th century. These rolls were financial records maintained by the Exchequer of the English Crown, and they often included listings of landowners and tenants. The presence of the name in these rolls suggests that the Ingalsbe family held lands or property in the region during that time.

In the 14th century, the name appeared in various records, including the Subsidy Rolls of Yorkshire, which were tax records. This indicates that the Ingalsbe family had established themselves in different parts of northern England by that period. The spelling variations found in these records, such as Ingalsby and Ingallesbie, reflect the evolution of the name over time.

One notable individual bearing the Ingalsbe surname was Sir John Ingalsbe (1452-1518), a wealthy landowner and knight from Northumberland. He was known for his military service and served as the High Sheriff of Northumberland during the reign of King Henry VII. Another prominent figure was William Ingalsbe (1674-1741), a merchant and alderman in the city of York, who was actively involved in local affairs and served as the Lord Mayor of York in 1726.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ingalsbe family continued to maintain a presence in various parts of northern England, particularly in Yorkshire and Northumberland. Records from this period, such as parish registers and court rolls, document the lives and activities of members of the Ingalsbe family, providing insights into their occupations, marriages, and relationships within their local communities.

In the 18th century, the Ingalsbe surname gained recognition with the birth of renowned English author and poet, Thomas Ingalsbe (1718-1788). His works, which included several collections of poetry and essays, were widely acclaimed during his lifetime and contributed to the literary landscape of the era.
