Subject: Ireley

I'm looking for any information on the surname Ireley. I know that it's been used as a surname and place name in Great Britain.

The only meaning I can think plausible is 'Ireland meadow' if you break down the name Ire- being the same as Ireland/Erin/Eire and -ley meaning lee/meadow.

Any information - meaning, origin, usage, variants. I have see Ireleigh used as a first name.
