Default Iris identification

Hi

I was hoping that someone on here is able to help us to identify the iris that we have growing in our garden.
The bulbs/rhizomes were originally dug out from the sand dunes at Talacre in north Wales where they had been planted either by the people who used to live in the dunes due to evacuation from Liverpool or those who lived there post WWII. For those who know the area, yes it is a SSSI and yes I had permission to dig these up.

Unfortunately we cannot identify the iris' ourselves, can anyone help?
Also, what tips can anyone give us on how to look after and cultivate these iris'?

I have taken some photographs of them to show what they look like.

Thanks for any help

Karl
