Halpin Family
« on: Thursday 19 April 07 13:18 BST (UK) »
Has anyone done any research on the Halpins in Meath? I am really struggling for that elusive breakthrough!

Patrick Halpin was born in 1842/3 in County Meath and moved to Lancashire around 1865 where he married Mary Nulty. She was also originally from County Meath and her father was James Nulty (deceased), a corn miller. Patrick's father was also called Patrick Halpin (deceased), a farmer.

Patrick Halpin (jnr) may have had a brother called Peter as his marriage certificate shows his father as Patrick too but he is shown as a lodger, not a brother, when he is living with Patrick on the 1881 census.

Finding Patrick's birth and parents in Meath is proving very difficult! Does anyone have any information or tips?

Thanks,
Pam

Hiya Pam,

Do you have a Herbert Halpin on your tree ???

There was a photograph in Wednesday's Mourne Observer, "Man About Town" page, of Herbert Halpin's Entertainers at Newcastle, Co. Down, Ireland during the summer season 1909.

my grandmother was a Halpin, her father (born 1857) and his father where both called Patrick. Both where shoemakers and it seems that a lot of halpins where of that trade because i have found several halpin families around the county that where shoemakers.

If you know the parish and/or administrative district you might get some luck
