Looking for any information on the ancestors/relations of Thomas Halpin and Catherine Walsh, who married in Aghnamullen East parish on 27 Nov 1863 and had 10 children between then and 1881.
The family moved to Waterford sometime between 1881 and 1887 and the Father Thomas died on 26 Jun 1887. I have birth/baptismal dates for the children in Monaghan and have their deaths etc in Waterford. My query really is who were they? Or why did they move to Waterford? From the 1901/1911 census Mother is born in Monaghan. Children are ?, Ellen, Mary, Bridget, Jane, Patrick, James, John,Thomas & Catherine. Family story said they were related to James Connolly, but we cant find any evidence for this so far. Thomas was a mechanic.
