My apologies Pennines,
I did not intend to take over the forum, but since the last post was 2007, I assumed the question was answered. I will send a note to Halps to alert them to your response.

I want to thank dathai for the assistance. I found an Ellis Island document with Fr. William, Thomas and Catherine on the Celtic in 1910 which I assumed was their first trip, but it noted their address as Algona, IA. (Yes this branch of the family immigrated to the US). Since dathai found a record with Bridget as head of household in 1911, I'm guessing they went home for Patrick's funeral. (The only Patrick I found before died in Delvin in 1906, so back to the drawing board.)

I'm just starting to explore the Christopher Halpin information dathai posted and would be grateful for any information re: Bridget Heslin's lineage.

Again, your help is invaluable. I can't thank you enough.

kaligirl --- I hadn't realised the original post was 2007!!

I only latched onto the thread because of the mention of Westmeath and because it was newish --entirely due to your recent posts. However I read the messages from the start and thought the first one was being overlooked.

No wonder - it was almost 10 years old!
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

It appears some of my relatives moved from Meath to Westmeath as well.
 :)

I've been able to enter both Patrick and his brother Rev. Wm. into my tree as well as the Christophers. It appears they are son and grandson of Patrick, although I have not connected the priest who died in France.

I'm fascinated with the naming of sons and daughters after parents, which makes the tracing a little difficult, but am learning more about the location of cities and towns.

I will check some other posts re: Bridget Heslin, but wanted to thank you for all your assistance.

I have attached the head stone of my grandfather Thomas, but as of yet can find no record of his birth.

Dathai's resources have been invaluable in verifying the births of his siblings and I am hopeful I am just overlooking something.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated .

Have just posted a reply to your other Halpin post on an old thread.

Is this Thomas with parents Patrick and Bridget? if so, in 1901 his age given as 18 which means born c1883 not 1889. Ages in census can be wrong but this might be why you haven't found a birth registration for him yet.

Here's an 1883 birth which might be his- parents Patrick & Bridget-

Aghadowey,

I hope our posts don't cross in the ether, but this is my interpretation of Patrick's family thus far.

I believe, thanks to Aghadowey, I have found Patrick Halpin's death, but I am still @ a loss for finding Thomas Halpin (my grandfather)'s birth.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
