I think Zak was born in England, and his dad Jedediah may have been, but I am sure the family hailed from Ireland. According to Pamela Bell's Xmas At Emmerdale book, set in 1914, Dingles were living in the village but I am sure the book said they were Irish people. So they must have come to England in about 1910-1914.
