Wallgate had Irish settlers too. A bit earlier than you want nut my paternal iRish lived in the Potteries in the 1871 census. I always assumed that Wallgate area was close to the station and more immigrants would settle among their own kind from Ireland. Similarly Scholes is central. My maternal Irish came from cavan in mid 80s and initially settled in Upholland before moving to Skem. Perhaps they landed at Liverpool and came inland from there
