FamilySearch has a number of 1870s Co. Meath births to a Philip Halton and Mary Lynch but I can't see a Mary for those parents (nor on the RootsIreland website).
In amongst all those FamilySearch records however, is a William Halton born Co. Meath to Philip Halton and Anne Burke - when you put those parents' names into the RootsIreland website search index, you get back Co. Meath baptisms for Patrick in 1860, Mary in 1862 (Athboy RC parish), and William in 1865.
A bit early for your friend's Mary, but simply worth noting Philip Halton and Anne Burke until you can rule them in or out.

Hi
I too am seeking info on Mary Halton who married Patrick J O'Connor (my great grandfather). Their marriage record from Athboy RC Church Co Meath shows her father as Philip (a Carman) and his father Peter (a Tailor) - was your friend able to find any further info about their parents ?
Many thanks in advance

Found a couple of court appearances for Philip Halton (Carman/Carrier) on Findmypast.ie
13jun1869 - Court Fine - 3 pence and 1 shilling costs for "one mule wandering on the public road at Otterstown"
27Sep1886 - Court Fine - 2/- shilling for "did turn loose mare and foal on public road at Castletown"
(Otterstown and Castletown are on outskirts of Athboy Co. Meath)
cheers - Pat

Hi Dathai
Thanks for Rootsweb links - will have a wander through their links.
Thankfully (LoL !) the Prison Record you link is for a different Halton (obviously the wild side of the Halton clan - several different assaults !). Findmypast.ie has comprehensive prison records and I have gone through the different Halton "crimes" - my side of the family were only fined for leaving their animals graze on the side of the public road !
cheers - Pat ;D

I am also descended from some Philip Haltons from Athboy (though not your Philip.) My guess is that we are related though as it seems all the Haltons in Athboy are related somehow as they show up over and over again as witnesses for each other's marriages and baptisms (and they all seem to have a Philip in the family!)
My first Philip is the father of John Halton (b. 1809). Philip (the 1st) had at least 2 other children with his wife Ann Kiernan -- one being Philip (again) and the other being a daughter named Ann. John married Jane Darby, also of Athboy, and had several children, including a son, Philip (whom I'm descended from), and about 1850 John, Jane, and all their children emigrated to the United States following Jane's family who had already moved there.
I had to laugh with all the prison records for the Halton's as my grandfather Halton used to say when asked about his ancestry that they were "all just a bunch of horse thieves." LOL :D
I will be making a trip to Athboy this spring to see my ancestral homeland. Hope to be inspired while I'm there (though I doubt I'll find anything of interest.)
