Halpin family of Wicklow - Part 1

[Shanachai]

Hi Kenneth - I think I'll be able to shed some light on the matter - I may not be able to resolve the issue once and for all (that would require more documentation than I've been able to uncover), but I think I come close to a good circumstantial case for regarding all the Johns, Pagets and  Patricks here as - at the very least - blood relations.  I've been keeping Bill up to date with the progress I'm making.  Each time I'm ready to post, I stumble across something else in some obscure history book or little-considered online document, which causes me to hesitate.  Other matters will have me tied up for the next few days, but I should have something to post by Wednesday or Thursday next week - and I believe it will interest you, Dianne, Leah, Kim and Bill in particular...basically, it all hinges on Queen's County, Portarlington, and the terrible events surrounding the insurrection of 1798-99.  Now that I've flagged it, I hope it's not an anti-climax.  Until next week - Cheers.

I wonder who John Halpen of Woodville, in about 1800, was. Does anybody know ?

I have the marriage of Marianne Crosthwaite to William Henry Halpin as JAN 1787.  Can anyone prompt me as to how I got that please?

From the records of the Eustace Street Presbyterian, Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, Anne Crosthwait birth 21 JUL 1746 to Thomas Crossthwait and Mary.  There are many Crosthwait bdms recorded at this church.  [Source IGI]

Hi Bill,

The write up for the Halpin family in Burke's "The Landed Gentry of Ireland" has William Henry Halpin of Portarlington m. Jan. 1787,  Marianne Crosthwaite.

Hi again diane

The author of this write up must have got this information from somewhere.  I wonder if anyone knows: is the author of the Burke's article identifiable, contactable?

It would be good to find such a source.

Bill.

Hi,

I not sure who writes up the family pedigrees for  Burkes, I would imagine the information would be submitted by the individual they are featuring. In this case it was John Ralph Halpin of Ford Lodge, Cavan.

He was born in 1899 so I don't imagine he is still alive.

Re Marianne Crosthwaite who married William Henry Halpin of Portarlington - and the possible Carlow connection?

From an 1890s recording of Co Carlow Memorial Inscriptions, there are the following:

Crosthwait, Samuel Esq, 31 August 1839

Crosthwait, Samuel Esq, 22 August 1863 aged 74

Crosthwait, Elizabeth, 4 February 1854

Crosthwait, Samuel (no date)

All the above were recorded in Dunleckney Parish, which I believe is around Bagenalstown, south of Carlow town.

Hello to all Irish Halpins!

Enquiry into HALPIN-GREVILLE Connection


Can anyone help me, please? I am looking for the HALPIN family in Co. Dublin around the 18th/19th century and in particular in connection to Kilmainham Estate. I understand that an antecedent of mine, John GREVILLE married Hannah HALPIN on 27 Dec 1740. Since then the GREVILLE family has taken on the HALPIN name before the GREVILLE (see Lorne HALPIN GREVILLE who has been researching the GREVILLE family tree in Australia while my great uncle (?), Sydney HALPIN GREVILLE was doing the same in the UK and Ireland).

My father, Howard GREVILLE, was the first to have lost the HALPIN but I have added it to my son’s name, ------------------.
