Halpins of Wicklow - Part 3

[BillW]

Dr James Eaton Halpin (1861-1931).  He set up practise in 1891 at South Normanton in East Derbyshire, almost in Nottinghamshire (immediately after marrying Margaret Newson, or more likely Newsom, in Dublin).  They had two children.  Dorothy Frances Bestall Halpin, born 1892 at South Normanton, who married there in 1921 Eric Muschamp.  They had two daughters in the same area, Margaret and Rosemary .  Rosemary may not have married but Margaret married Thomas Hayes and had three sons, Philip, Tony and Robert.
Dr James Eaton Halpin's other child was Stopford John Halpin, born 30 Oct 1894.  He married in 1931, Bertha M Parker.  I have not been able to find any children.  Stopford also became a doctor and succeeded to his father's practise in South Normanton.  He died in 1975 in the Louth district of Lincolnshire.  I hoped this might be the address of an unknown child but conceivably it may have been where one of his Muschamp nieces lived.
Marie will be interested that Dr Stopford Halpin is remembered as being completely bald, which is the way she recalls Stopford's first cousin Gilbert.

Well done Bill on updating the Family tree of James and Anne Halpin.

Violet Louise HALPIN (b. 1874)
m. 1914 (unknown) CASEY

Violet married Charles Harold CASEY. There is an interesting conundrum concerning their marriage record.

The records are entered twice:

1. Rathdown Oct-Dec 1913, Vol. 2 Page 829
2. Rathdown  Jan-Mar 1914, Vol. 2 Page 764

I wonder which year is correct? Did they marry on New years Eve?
Someone needs to purchase the documents to verify the date.!!!!

Regards,

could be a separate church and civil marriage on two different dates ?

Just thinking out loud....Thought for the day............

Could this be a case of brother and sister marrying brother and sister?

Catherine Anne Halpin married George Newsom in 1882.

Margaret Newsom married James Eaton Halpin in 1891.

When I was in Dublin recently I spent some time at the Dublin Library looking up records. While looking in the various Trade Directories I came across some entries for Halpin/Halpen etc. but I did not search all the directories.

Two things to observe: John Halfpenny became Halfpen and his wife (or daughter?) had taken over in 1781.

Medical Halpins
That makes 9 doctors in descendants of James Halpin and Anne Halbert.
From the Portarlington family, there was the eminent Dr Charles Halpin of Cavan.  Diane, were there other doctors in this family?

Frederick James Halpin's son ( Dr Charles Halpin's nephew) Walter Charles was a doctor. He is in the Medical Register for 1895. He trained in Edinburgh, was registered in Ireland in 1886. He practiced in Parkend, Gloucestershire for years before retiring to Newton Abbott, Devon where he died in 1916. He had one child Charlotte Mary Halpin.

An observation.  Earlier Tavern supplied in response to my identiying the name Revill Clements in connection with the (former?) Cotter property, Coolawinna, the following:

A James HALBERT married Mary REVELL 30th Aug 1795 in Wicklow Town(COI)
(Bill, Remember REVELL Clements in #95 above Crawford to Crawford?)

As recently shown, James Eaton Halpin set up his medical practice in South Normanton, Derbyshire, and he was at times joined there by his brother WLB Halpin, mining engineer and coal mine manager.  The following is taken from Genuki, an old gazetteer entry:

"SOUTH NORMANTON, a parish in the hundred of Scarsdale, county Derby, 2¼ miles E. of Alfreton, its post town, and 2 N.W. of the Pinxton railway station. The village, which is large, is situated on an eminence, and is chiefly agricultural. It formerly belonged to the Willoughbys and Revels, which latter family resided here from the time of the Conquest. The surface is elevated and the scenery diversified. The substratum abounds in coal, of which some mines have been opened. The tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £285."

In 1891, did an extended Revell family still have enough influence to find James Eaton a living in South Normanton and/or did coal take WLB there?

                                                                 George Halpin Senior of Dublin and James Halpin of Wicklow were brothers.

        We already know that  “Captain Frederick Halpin was nephew to James Halpin of Wicklow”
                               
         We can now show that Frederick was the son of George Halpin senior.

                                                                      Registry of Deeds 1855 – 11 -Number 245 and 246

A memorial of a deed of Conveyance of the twenty eight day of April 1855 made between Thomas Crostwait of Fitzwilliam Square East in the city of Dublin and George Halpin of Rathgar in the County of Dublin esquires, executors of the last will and testament of George Halpin late of the North Wall in the county of Dublin esquire of the first part , Frederick Halpin of Kingston in the county of Dublin Esquire son of the said George Halpin deceased of the second part and Robert Halpin of Belmont Raheny in the County of Dublin Clerk of the third part. Reciting that by indenture of lease of the fifteenth of February 1808 made between James Williams and Richard Williams the younger both of the city of Dublin Merchants of the one part and said George Halpin the father of said George Halpin and Frederick Halpin of the other part..............pay over the same in equal moieties or shares between his said son George and his son Frederick being his only children then living........that said George Halpin departed this life on or about the 8th day of July 1854 without altering said Will......


NOTES

These two memorials are very long but some of the main observations are the following-

George Senior had a son Frederick living in Kingston in 1855.
Confirmation of George senior living at the North Wall at the time of his death and his date of death.
George Halpin Junior living at Rathgar.
The Robert Halpin of Belmont Raheny is The Rev.Robert Halpin. There is no indication one way or the other from the documents that the Rev. Robert is related to George and Frederick.
George and Frederick were the only children alive when George senior died.
Another Crostwait (note the spelling) appearing as an executor of George senior’s Will.
The documents go on to show that Frederick passes his share of the estate to George and this could explain where Frederick got the money to buy the Halpin estate in Wicklow a year later in 1856.
Most likely therefore it was George Junior who challenged the Will of Frederick when he died in 1859.

Happy Christmas,
