Notes - A Richard Irish was buried at Eartham on 1 Jun 1705 (bishop’s transcripts, 1705-1706). The entry gives no age or parents, so it could be this Richard, his brother Richard (bap. 1702) or the Richard Irish who signed as churchwarden in 1702-1703. No other Irish burial is in the transcripts for 1699-1734 (1727 is missing).
