Halpins in Westmeath
« on: Saturday 10 February 07 11:45 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the parents of Patrick Halpin who I believe was born in Westmeath in about 1842. He also has a brother called John born approx. 1847 and possibly another brother called Peter born approx. 1849. Patrick came to Lancashire around 1866/67 and on his marriage certificate his father is shown as Patrick Halpin (deceased).

I have found a Patrick Halpin on the Griffiths Valuation for Westmeath in the parish of Clonarney.

Can anyone give me any help or advice as to how I can find Patrick's parents?

Many thanks,
Pam

The Halpin name was originally Halfpenny and they changed it to Halpin,so you may have luck under that name,Peggyanne

I am looking for Patrick Halpin, father of Thomas J. Halpin born 26 November 1889 in Castlepollard, County Westmeath, Ireland. His brother, The Rev. William J. Halpin of Meath Diocese brought both Thomas and Catherine to Ellis Island aboard the Celtic in 1910.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to RootsChat Kaligirl
Where did you get the date and place of birth for Thomas, I don't see him in the civil Registration.
