Ingram was the son of Colonel the Honourable
Lord Irvine married
In the 1760s Charles employed Capability Brown to re-landscape the park at Temple Newsam. The work was continued by his widow, who rebuilt the south wing and lived at Temple Newsam until her death in 1807. There is a portrait of Charles, 9th Viscount Irwin, by Benjamin Wilson, in the collections at Temple Newsam.[6]
Lord Irvine died in June 1778, aged 51. As he had no sons and as there were no more male-line descendants of the first Viscount the viscountcy became extinct on his death.[3] Temple Newsam passed to Isabella, Lady Hertford on Lady Irvines's death in 1807.
