Is it going backwards to Ireland you are most interested in or his family in England?

Would this be him in Bootle in 1891 census

The marriage certificate would be a good place to start as that should have the name and occupation of his father.

This looks like it could be the right one in Dec 1885 Liverpool

Mary Ellen Conway
Peter Cunningham
Thomas Halpin
Emma McNally

Although first child in 1891 census John C was born before that so maybe Thomas was married before :-\

Daughter Ellen Christina born Jun 1889 has mothers maiden name Conway.

John Charles Halpin has mothers maiden name Stewart and there is a baptism 9 Dec 1883 with father Thomas Halpin and mother Christina Stewart. 

Maybe they married in Ireland?

You can order copies of certificates from the General Register Office site. 

I've no experience in certificates from Ireland only England and Wales but there are links on the site to show you where to go.

If you wish to order a copy of the marriage you will need the following information

Dec 1885 Liverpool
Volume 8b
Page number 301
Thomas Halpin
Mary Ellen Conway

The marriage information is from the Free BMD index (births marriages deaths) and the baptism record on Ancestry website.

You can find birth registrations on Free BMD and on the General Register Office site.

Note this is England and Wales so you can look up anything that happened with the family when in Bootle.
