First Generation
1. He died in 1344 at the age of 66 in Chester, Cheshire, England. 1 Three different years of birth have turned up for Oliver d'Ingham, 1278, 1286 and 1287. His birth place has been given as Igham, Norfolk and Ellesmere Castle in Shropshire..
As Oliver's father was Sir John d'Ingham, it is likely that Ingham was his birth place. Oliver's mother is recorded variously as Margery, Maraya and Marcy. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William la Louche and Maud Lovell.
He inherited lands in Hampshire, Wiltshire, Suffolk and Norfolk from Sir John in 1310. Ingham was summoned to serve in Scotland in 1310 and 1314. He was made Governor of Ellesmere Castle in Shropshire in 1320 and Justice of Chester, Cheshire in 1322. That same year, he supported the King against Thomas, Earl of Lancaster and attended the King in an expedition to Scotland.
Ingham was released from prison in 1324, after serving time for his involvement in the civil wars of Edward II. The release was to allow him to serve as Marshall of the Army under Edmund of Woodstock, Earl of Kent, in the Duchy of Aquitaine in the War of Saint Sardos against the French. Oliver was appointed advisor to Edmund, Earl of Kent, in Gascony.
In 1325, he was appointed seneschal of Gascony. Sir Oliver returned to England in 1327 as a Commissioner of Regency during the minority of Edward III. He was called to Parliament in 1328 and was appointed Chief Justice of Chester.
Ingham was sent to the Tower of London in 1330 after he was suspected of plotting against the King with Roger de Mortimer. Neither man was charged.
He received a full pardon from Edward III.
In 1331, Ingham was made Justiciar of Chester. The next year he was again named as seneschal of Gascony and held that office until 1337. Oliver's headquarters was at Bordeaux. During the early stages of the Hundred Years War, Ingham received little troop or financial support from England. He had to rely on a mercenary army. His forces were able to hold off an attack on Bordeaux in 1339. Oliver returned to England in 1342 to gather troops for Edward III's campaign in Brittany and returned to Gascony. He was recalled from Gascony in 1343.
On 29 January 1344, Oliver d'Ingham died at Ingham and was buried in the Holy Trinity Church in Ingham. Elizabeth died at Wiltshire in 1350.
