• Notes

  BIRTH DATE INCORRECT The Carlyle Family tree used indicates John Irvine was born in 1829, and which cannot be correct as apparently he and Isabella were married in 1825 (per the Carlyle Family Tree) [1] INFORMATION ABOUT ISABELLA CARLYLE From the Ecclefuckan Carlyle Society wesbiste Born in the Parish of Hoddam in 1798, Francis Carlyle was the son of John Carlyle of Bonshawside (who was born in 1769, and died 1833). Francis’s mother was Mary Barton, who was also born in the Parish of Hoddam 1760 and died at Bonshawside in 1847. Francis was the grandson of Thomas Carlyle (of Sorriesyke) and Isabella Dixon. Soon after his marriage to Jane Seaton in New Abbey, Francis and Jane migrated to Wales, where Francis became a tea dealer. Francis’s eldest son Thomas, tragically died in a drowning accident in Glamorgan. His second son Francis John became a solicitor. Francis himself lived to good old age and in the latter years of his life was looked after by his daughter Agnes. Francis died in 1882 and below is a portion of his obituary. “One of the oldest and most respected of the inhabitants of Merthyr died this week in the person of Mr. Francis Carlyle, second cousin of Thomas Carlyle the philosopher of Chelsea. Mr. Carlyle came to Merthyr from Ecclefechan in the prime of his life, made a comfortable income by his industry and was one of the earliest and principal committee men associated with the Merthyr Library.” There are few better-read men, or more philosophically minded. He rarely referred to his gifted relative but was a warm student of his, and but for his retiring habits would have been a conspicuous ornament to society. He was in his 84th year at the time of his death and is well represented by leading families in Merthyr and Swansea.” Isabella Carlyle, sister of the above Francis, and niece of Adam, was born at Sinclairburn and christened in the Parish of Hoddam on the 20th April1800. She was the wife of John Irving (1780-1845) and died in 1855. Some of Isabella and John’s descendants emigrated to Australia in the 1850s.
