Travelling People / Re: Irish traveller surnames
« on: Monday 13 July 20 06:34 BST (UK) »
Hello,
New to these threads and not entirely certain I am in the right area. I recently learned some of my family's surnames on my maternal side and heard stories of a family member who was possibly a traveller or a gypsy. I am not certain of everyone's counties but I have information on a few.
Antrim, the names were Mullen, Gilpin
I also have ancestors with the surnames Hull, and Neal (changed from O'Neal) later. My grandfather (his mother was Neal) was born under the name Bentley but received his stepfather's last name of Butler.
