HI
You have a copy of the will by WILLIAM GILTRAP AND ANN BOOTHMAN - DOES IT NAME THEIR CHILDREN? Margaret Esther Giltrap 1781-1841 married to William Ousley Halpenny 1777
AND possibly their grandchildren?

Hi all, I am new to this,
I am trying to get more information on my granmothers family of Giltrap of Elverstown Ballymore Eustace, where I live,  I'm OK back to  the early 1800s based on a copy of a will by William Giltrap, dated 1828, married to Anne Boothman circa 1788, which names all his children. how would I find his siblings names? I believe his fathers name was William, married to Hanna Wright. Family graves in Hollywood Co Wicklow.

Wicklow / Re: Halpins of Wicklow, etc. - Part 4

I am researching the name Halpenny- William Ousley Halpenny 1777-1815 married to Margaret Esther Giltrap 1780-1841.  I believe William's parents are William Michael Halpenny born around 1739 through 1750 married to Jane Janet Delaney.  Everyone is from Wicklow in Ireland.  I am stuck finding proof of both William's parents.  So I figured it would be better to start at WO (1777) and work my way back.  I have read through this thread and I am wondering if Halpin was the parent to the oldest WIlliam.  Any thoughts on when they became the Wicklow Halpenny's did some of the family drop Halpin and pick up Halpenny?  Could it have been a Halfpenny to Halpenny?  Will my DNA show a link to a Halpin and will that give a better understanding?  I could get my oldest half brother to do a DNA test- he is the oldest living male of our line of Halpenny's.  I understand three families immigrated to USA/ CANADA and I am one of those lines.
