Kaligirl,

I went looking for Patrick Halpin. The following book gave details of him: "History of Washington and Ozaukee Counties, Wisconsin". You will easily find it online. It gives Patrick’s date of birth as 1st July 1813. I checked the Catholic parish registers and a Patrick Halpin was baptised in Fore on 2nd July 1813. His parents were Thomas and Catherine (née Carney).

Kaligirl,

I think that you are right. I can see no other reason for Thomas being on that headstone.

What a great find.

Kaligirl,

Per the Catholic parish registers, Thomas Halpin married Catherine Carney on 12th February 1809 at Castlepollard.

Sorry - for some reason, I didn't receive this and I haven't read the register, but will later.

The lockdown associated with the horrible virus has limited my ability to go places that I'd wish to. As a result I have been mostly confined to on-line activities. While looking at YouTube I came across a video made at the end of last month. It is entitled “St Fechin's Trail, Nancy and Nellie Walk , Fore, County Westmeath” and it shows the topography of Fore Village and it's immediate surroundings. It shows one of the graveyards and a couple of the headstones mentioned in this thread. I'd recommend having a look at it if your interested in this topic.

I definitely will - thanks.
We are in the process of moving to assisted living (July 1), so anticipate I'll have little time until the 'dust settles' but hope to catch up on research @ that time.
Good to 'hear' from you!

Hello kaligirl,

I hope that you are well, best of luck with your move.

I'm continuing to dip in and out of the family history. I have accepted that Christopher Halpin was born in 1816 based on his death cert. I have done this because a baptism register does not appear to have been kept between 29th April 1815 and 13th March 1821, but also because of the accuracy with which his older brother Patrick's birth date was recorded. I have also found some of their siblings.

It appears the baptism register wasn't kept because the priest at the time didn't keep one for some reason. I think that I saw that that priest's grave in the cemetery at the back of the church in Fore. I'll check next time I'm there.

The travel restrictions imposed by the lockdown will be lifted next week so hopefully I'll go to Westmeath then.

How wonderful to get closer to confirming dates. I too can't wait for the Covid-19 restrictions to be lifted as I dream of coming to Ireland.
I can't thank you enough for your assistance and wish you the best to health and happiness.
