Halpins of Co. Wicklow, Portarlington and Dublin City - Part 2

[BillW]

Re Bayley, Marie, I have done a search at the FamilySearch Pilot site and have produced a couple of pieces of information that may assist.  The spelling that follows is copied from that source.

Abraham Bailey - birth 21 Nov 1880; birthplace - Moneygrath, Ireland.  Father's name - Samuel Bailey.  Mother's name - Rosanna Levingstone Bailey

If connected, also listed is:

John Abraham Bailie - Birth: Jan - Mar 1920.  Registration district - Dublin South

For those, like me, not knowing where Moneygrath is, I found it close to the Carlow/Wexford/Wicklow border intersection, between Myshall and Kildavin, about 10 miles east of Bagenalstown.  This is not that far away, I suppose, from the John Halpin junior who was recorded being paid to repair a road near Shillelagh but that is taking quite a leap in connection.

I will try to make further enquiries in Co Carlow.

I have updated the tree of the descendants of James Halpin of the Bridge Tavern Wicklow now including the new contributions of Marie and Debbie.  Unfortunately it is no longer confined to one page, the daughters of Captain Robert Charles Halpin, the most junior branch of the family, on a second page.  If printed out, it should be easy to cut and paste those to the top page.

Not showing on the chart, I have added Robert Wellington Halpin and what family I have of him (Ray's family) as a nephew of James, making something of a leap of faith that RW's father was a Robert Halpin, tide surveyor of Dublin (perhaps also or later at Wicklow?), and therefore a brother of James and Margaret, children of Elizabeth.  Their father of course is still sought.

Marie, in the Griffith's Valuation, which for this location seems to have been in 1852, in the Barony of Forth, Union of Enniscorthy, Parish of Barragh, the Townland of Moneygrogh (so spelled) seems to have been entirely occupied by Bayleys leasing from Sir Thomas Butler, Bt.  Edmund Bayley had a bit over 45 acres and Elizabeth Bayley (wife, sister, mother?) had a bit over 30.

The site is adjacent to the old Barragh Church, even then described as in ruins, with a graveyard.

I found this enticing connection to that church:

alexander eaton my great-great grandfather married ellen neving on oct 23,1861 in barragh church,barragh parish,county carlow. church of ireland ceremony. the marriage certificate states that alexander was of full age ,a widower,a schoolmaster,and that his residence at time of this marriage was barnahask,county carlow.it also states that his fathers name was george eaton a farmer.

I don't know if this has any significance. 

In Carlow Town, a Robert Bayley and a William Bayley are shown to have been lessors of properties in Athy Street and Tullow Street.  Bill.

In a newly released series of church transcripts (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/), entering Halpin with Wicklow turned up two marriages.

(1)   Area - DUBLIN (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. ANNE
Marriage of SWINTON HENRY BOND of 57 YORK ROAD KINGSTOWN and MARY ANNE HALPIN of LEITRIM LODGE CO WICKLOW on 12 April 1882.
Husband Swinton Henry Bond of 57 York Road Kingstown, Esq, bachelor of full age, father Joseph Bond, Agent.  Wife Mary Anne Halpin of Leitrim Lodge Co Wicklow,spinster of full age, father Richard Halpin, Captain.  Witnesses Wm Wat Oneill (for husband), C E Bond (for wife). [http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/c4a47d0878365]
This is a daughter of Richard Mathews Halpin who was previously unknown to me.  Being of full age, she must have been born before 1861.  And we learn, or have confirmed, that Richard Mathews Halpin was a Captain.  Richard has been reported by Ray as having come to the aid of his 9 years younger brother Captain Robert Charles Halpin when the latter was in trouble with US authorities.

(2) Area - DUBLIN (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - RATHMINES Marriage of JAMES HENRY HALPIN of 1 WENTWORTH PLACE WICKLOW and ADELAIDE MAUDE SUTTON of 25 CHARLESTON AVENUE RATHMINES on 16 November 1897 .  Husband James Henry Halpin, 1 Wentworth Place Wicklow, Surgeon, bachelor, full age, father George Halbert Halpin, Surgeon.  Wife Adelaide Maude Sutton of 25 Charleston Avenue Rathmines, Gentlewoman, father Samuel R Sutton, Gentleman.  Witnesses Martha Florence Sutton (for husband), Robert George Halpin (for wife).
[http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/8467430873774 ]
So, Marie, here is your great aunt Adelaide Sutton with information on her father, Samuel R Sutton.  They were living in Rathmines but Adelaide and Martha were born in Wexford.  I have also found that Martha was the younger sister, born Wexford in 1874.
We are left with why, in the 1901 Census, Martha shows as Martha Florence Eatton, spinster.

I should add that, as yet, there are no actual Wicklow records in the above series - to save you looking.  Those quoted were from Co Dublin.  Bill

That is very interesting, I remember talk of Aunt Maude, why oh why didn't I take more interest in the family chat and ask questions!! I think though that if that was the Eaton connection my Dad's sister Louise, who was a great one for family links and connections would have known about it and I clearly remember her saying that she didn't know what the connection was.

William David Bradley marriage to Mary Anne Isabella Halpin 1882 Dublin can be seen at http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/reels/d-708-3-1-047.pdf.  Was Eliza Bradley who married Dr George Halbert Halpin in 1859 at Kilmeague related?  Bill

Thanks a lot Bill for finding my grandparents marriage certificate - I am so grateful to this thread for allowing me to find out more about my great granmother, Mary Anne Isabella Halpin. Brian
