Medical Halpins
That makes 9 doctors in descendants of James Halpin and Anne Halbert.
From the Portarlington family, there was the eminent Dr Charles Halpin of Cavan.  Diane, were there other doctors in this family?

Frederick James Halpin's son ( Dr Charles Halpin's nephew) Walter Charles was a doctor. He is in the Medical Register for 1895. He trained in Edinburgh, was registered in Ireland in 1886. He practiced in Parkend, Gloucestershire for years before retiring to Newton Abbott, Devon where he died in 1916. He had one child Charlotte Mary Halpin.

Hi Bill,

I am not sure if Frederick was related to John or Caroline to Jane but I have some information on Frederick Horatio Halpen.

He was on the 1841 census for Greenwich , Kent, gives his occupation as banker . On his children's baptisms he is said to be the manager of the London and County Bank. Caroline died December 1, 1840 in Greenwich as did 3 or 4 of his children. He married again to Eliza Sarah Wolfenden.  From the 1851 census to his death in 1877 he resided in Birkenhead, Cheshire. On the 1851 census his occupation is Pensioner R I C and shipping.  His children were born in Bristol, Kent, Liverpool and Birkenhead.
 
It seems to rule him out for our Fredericks.

I have come across a curious duplication of names that has to make some of us wonder.  Earlier, Ken drew attention to:
John Halpin, who married Jane Stamer at St Peter's on 18.8.1786 was the bookseller (& libeller).
I can't find the page now, I think it must be from the Oxford DNB:
John Halpin,  bookseller, 55 Henry St 1786-1795, Sackville St 1796-1810, mar. Aug.1786 Jane, dau of late Thomas Stamer of Co Clare. Will proved 1811, succeeded by wife, Jane. [Reply #203 on: Tuesday 19 January 10]
Browsing for something completely different I have found the following:
At Clontarf, near Dublin, F.H. Halpin, esq. E.I.C. to Caroline, dau. of Sir W. Stamer, Bart.    [Gentleman's Magazine Dec 1830. Marriage 12 Nov 1830 ]
Was this FH Halpin related to John Halpin and was Caroline related to Jane?  Who was FH Halpin?  The only Frederick Halpins that I am aware of were Frederick James Halpin, school proprietor of Sandymount , his son Frederick Webster Halpin and Captain Frederick Halpin of Wicklow.  The last was probably too young and not known to have been with the East India Company.

Bill,

Captain John Halpin was born July 3, 1805 and died November 30, 1848 in Berhampore, India. His obituary states he was a surveyor and Orientalist.  His obituary was in the Anglo-Celt.

Nicholas John Halpin B.A., M.B., B.Ch., M.D.1879, T.C.D. Surgeon 1876, L.K.Q.C.P. 1881 That was the education listed on the piece about his medal.

Diane, I think this is the same man that was part of Ray's original family tree at about page 1 or 2 of the first list.  He somehow gave the exact date of birth, 12 Sept 1851 and the qualifications ICS, which is for a surveyor.  There needs to be some sorting out.  Maybe he became a doctor as well as a surveyor.  Did he go to Trinity College?  Was he the one Ray referred to as the noted orientalist?

I was googling Nicholas John Halpin & India and came across a website selling medals. They had one for Nicholas John Halpin, who I believe is the son of Nicholas John Halpin and Rebecca Doherty.

Surgeon N.J.Halpin  Bengal Medical Department  born 1851 . Tragically killed by a fall from a horse at Arrah, India in October 1882.  The medal is selling for 600 pounds, hard to believe! It gives us a date for his death.

Hi,
Nicholas John Halpin and Ann Greham had both a daughter Louisa and a daughter Lucy.

Louisa is on the 1860 census for Ossining, New York, she is a governess with the Brinkerhoff family.  A. Halpin (62), Lucy Halpin(29) and Frank Halpin(6) are together on the 1860 census for Brooklyn, New York.

On the 1870 census for New York, New York Louisa, Frank and Lucy Halpin are all living together. One of the Brinkerhoff children are also lodging with them.

In the Feb 8, 1880  issue of the New York Times there is an obituary for Lucy:
Halpin- On Thursday, Feb 5 at the residence of her brother- in- law J. Wright Esq, Richmond Va. Lucy, eldest daughter of the late Rev Nicholas John Halpin of Dublin Ireland.

On the 1900 census for Montclair, New Jersey ( you can view it on the record search pilot on Family Search) you find Francis Halpin, Rosalie, Eleanor, John H and Mrs Halpin (Louisa) relationship mother.

Many of the names, relationships and places were also referred to it Charles G Halpine's obituary.

Broker Bill,

Welcome to the group. Are you descended from John or Murray?

I have Louisa Deck in the same family group as you have listed. There was a Lucy. Lucy and Louisa lived together for some years.  Lucy died at her brother in law John Wright's home.

Have you seen the letter in the New York Times on June 18, 1860 where Isaiah Deck tries to explain his many marriages? It is quite funny.

Tavern and DCarr: Re: Louisa Halpin (Deck) - 1828-1904. My understanding is that Louisa was the daughter of Nicholas John and Ann Graham Halpin whose other children incuded Nicholas, John, William, Lucy(possibly), Anne (m. J. Wright), Marianne (m. C. Russell) and Charles Graham Halpine - Miles O'Reilly (m. Margaret Gulligan), but this is what i am trying to ascertain. Is it possible that I have generations somehow confused? Many thanks for your input. I need help!

Hi,
I have checked the Huguenot Church records for Portarlington and the marriage between Halpin & Du Bois is not there.

Dear Bill,

Completely agree - not sure where the Anne (Du Bois) first name originally came from.  The complete church records (1694-1816) of the Huguenot Church in Portarlington - L'Eglise Francaise de St Paul - exists but not sure if they are on-line anywhere.  This should show the Halpin - Du Bois marriage.

Best wishes, Brian

Hi,
I found Francis Halpin's obituary in the July 6, 1925 New York Times. It says he was the former vice president of the Chase National Bank and that he had been with the bank for 52 years.  He was living in Montclair, New Jersey.

On the 1900 census for Montclair ( you can view it for free on Family search) he is listed with his wife, two children and his mother Mrs. Halpin born in Ireland April 1830, married 1 year with 1 child, parents born in Ireland. It seems like he had done well for himself.

Great document Ray!

I think Frank Halpin was Louisa Halpin's son.  He changed his name from Frank Deck to Frank Halpin , notice of name change in the paper.  Louisa's husband was an alleged bigamist and she divorced him. On the 1860 census she is living with the Brinkerhoff family in Sing Sing as a governess.Her son Frank is living in Brooklyn with his grandmother ? A. Halpin (62)  born in Ireland and his Aunt Lucy. In 1870 Louisa, Lucy and Frank are all living together.

Marianne and her husband had two daughters Ann A Russell and Emily Grace Russell.

Leah will be interested in this.  On the 1870 census for Lewiston, Virginia are John Wright and Anna Wright  then on the next page are Claude Halpin and Charles Halpin living with the Staples family who are black, so I don't think they are family.  I am guessing it must have been around when their mother died and I guess they were sent from Canada to be with their Aunt Anna.  I'm not sure why they aren't living in the same house with her.  Next year on the 1871 Canadian census they are back home in Canada with their father William Henry. Interesting.
