HALPIN Patrick 1865 Emigrated to Australia

Patrick's son Lawrence was killed in WW1. 
There is a digital 33 page record of his war service that can be downloaded free at
http://www.naa.gov.au/

Ambrose also served in WW1 and a digital copy of his service record can also be downloaded. His raises a bit of a question however......

Dee perhaps an unregistered birth.  They were married in 1887 but the first registered birth not until 1890??  The area they were living in was a mining area and they also appeared to move about a tad.

Really need to "chat" to Alison and ask her where she has the information on the family from.....and how sure she is about the wife of John being Maria.....as there may be more of the children in NSW....in particular Lawrence/Laurence. However, on his death his parents are given as John & Margaret, not John & Maria.....but we know that death records can be rather incorrect in that regard......

I have saved all the records in case......

In 1930 there is an Albert Joseph Halpin, Miner on the electoral roll - address is Harle St Abermaine - which seems to be the family address on war service records. He is the only Halpin at this location in 1930 - Is he the right generation?
