This Birth on that LDS FS site appears to be from the same Marriage-
1. WM BRAVENDER - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Christening: 30 DEC 1832 Hutton Bushel, Yorkshire, England
Matches: International Genealogical Index/British Isles - 1
================================
Doing a Search for BRAVENDER (no First Name) on the LDS FS site produces results that point to it being mainly a Yorkshire Name.
Yorkshire and Rutlandshire show up for the majority of results.
That name does not appear in THE OXFORD NAMES COMPANION, a major work on Names.
Of course, that does not preclude an individual being born elsewhere.
============================
I wonder if the 1850 USA Enumerator mis-heard "Ayton" (possibly pronounced "Aye-ton") as "Ireland".
Several years back, I helped sort out two other cases.
An elderly lady was described in the USA as having "a broad Scotch accent" and she stated that she came from "The Isles".
It must have been a misunderstanding etc, as she actually was proven to come from "The Dales" of Yorkshire; and thus probably had a broad Yorkshire accent.
The other aspect is that without checking, there may be a location in Yorkshire which sounds like "Ireland".
The other case was that another researcher was pursuing BMDs etc in (the Principality of) Wales, unaware that there is a village called Wales in south Yorkshire.
So you have to be wary!
=========================
Cross-check everything.
