  Sir Adam Ireland
  The de Ireland (or Austin) family is of ancient lineage, the first Norman member coming owner with William the Conquerer ( see sources). "A the beginning of Edward I's reign another claimant came forward, more important than any of the foregoing. This was Adam Austin or Adam de Ireland, son of Cecily de Wolfall's sister Edusa, who had been living in Ireland, where her son Adam was born and brought up. They were in ignorance of the state of the succession in Hale, but Adam on coming into Lancashire claimed his mother's share of the two-thirds not alienated by Cecily, and then sought a writ against Richard de Walton for the other third.
  
  He first appears as a claimant in 1279, when, in conjunction with his aunt Cecily and her husband, he demanded land, meadow, wood, and the third part of a mill at Hale. For that he substituted a claim against John de Wolfall and Cecily his wife for the moiety of two parts of the manor of Hale as his portion of the inheritance of his uncle Henry de Hale, lately deceased. To this they agreed, and Adam accordingly had seisin. His next suit was against Robert de Holand, Richard son of William de Walton, and others, to recover the third part of the manor, except one messuage. Robert de Holand said he claimed nothing except as guardian of Richard de Walton, a minor. Richard denied Adam's right, and the latter repeated his story, with the addition that his aunt Cecily in her old age and infirmity had desired it to be known that he was her heir, and had allowed him temporary possession 'for one day and one night,' in token of the same.
  
  The claim was unsuccessful, and the Waltons retained this part of the manor. In 1292 Richard de Walton was summoned to show his right to a third part of the manor of Hale, part of the ancient demesne of the crown, but stated that he held in fact only about a sixth of it. On adducing the grant to Richard de Meath, he was met by the statement that the hey of Hale with its hunting and other rights had been reserved by King John; he could only reply that Richard de Meath had occupied the hey as well as the rest of the manor. In 1293 his portion of the manor was taken into the king's hands by default, but four years later was restored to his son William de Walton. The disputes between the various lords of the manor continued, but in 1321 William de Walton sold his rights to Adam de Ireland and Robert his son.

  Adam de Ireland, Lord of Hale, was born before 1258 in Ireland and died 1321-26. He was the first of that name to hold Hale, and there is no evidence of a “de Ireland” possessing Hale before Adam appeared in the last quarter of the 13th century. In contemporary records he was referred to as Adam de Ireland, Adam de Hibernia, Adam Austyn, Adam Austin, and Adam Austin de Ireland.
  
  He was the son of Edusa, a daughter of Richard de Meath (or de Mida) by Cecily de Columbers. Nothing is known of his father beyond the name Austyn. Richard de Meath’s father was Gilbert de Walton, the son of Waltheve (Waldeve) of Walton. Adam married Avina Holand by mid-1285. She was the daughter of Robert de Holand and Elizabeth Salmesbury.
  
  The ancestry of Adam de Ireland was made clear around the beginning of the 20th century by a number of publications which examined charters, Pipe Rolls, and the documents at Hale. Mid-nineteenth century publications set out an erroneous ancestry for Adam of Ireland with antecedents named Ireland at Hutt, and to resolve a perceived problem with possession of Hale his grandmother Cecily de Columbers is mistakenly identified as the mother or grandmother of his wife. These mistakes are often repeated today. Adam de Ireland was neither the son of John Ireland and Matilda Hesketh nor the grandson of Robert Ireland and Beatrix Daresbury, although later generations of the family appear to have thought so.
  
  “The original home of the lord of the manor of Hale was at Hutte, a mansion in Halewood, but between..1617 and 1626 the foundations of Hale Hall were first laid..... It was Gilbert Ireland, Knt, who began the construction of Hale Hall when he first moved from his former home at Hute which was starting to decay.” Accordingly, prior to the reign of Charles I, the lord of Hale might be referred to as “of Hutt,” but before and after hew was “of Hale.” The original grant was for the ‘vil of Hale.”
  
  Adam de Ireland’s obtained possession of Hale as son of Edusa (wife of Austyn), a daughter of Richard de Meath. Adam initially held Hale subject to certain overlord rights of the Waltons and the Hollands, but with his marriage to Avina de Holand about 1285 he began gaining additions rights and was the sole possessor of Hale by 1321.
