Spelling may be different but I am looking for the name PEKIN in and around Summerhill in Co Meath. James Pekin married a Margaret Higgins and they are my GGG Grandparents.
I have a list of all their children and can trace Margaret's Higgins family back a fair way too. It's the PEKIN side which intrigues me the most as I can only find tiny traces of it and none which link.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Further down the line, this couple had a daughter also called Margaret. She married someone named Keegan who later died. She re-married a Robert Banham who I believe was serving with English troops in the area and whom she may or may not have nursed as he was injured and became a Chelsea Pensioner. I can't trace their marriage in England so believe it must have been between 1841 and 1853 in Ireland and probably Meath.
Thank you.
