With regards to Pakenham Hall (Tullynally Castle), it just depends on what gate you come out of whether you are nearer Castlepollard or Coole.

Coole considerably further away than Castlepollard.
Pakenhamhall or Tullynally townland.

Kiltaglassan,

I note that you have a habit of posting links to easily accessible information, for reasons I don't understand.

Anyway I stand over my statement, perhaps you should have read it properly before posting a reply. i could say the same about your reply in the Halpins thread.

Hello Kelger123,

I don't know if your last post was meant to be a reply to mine.

Anyway here is my thoughts on the information as given. I think that the reference to Delvin was made by someone who is confusing the civil and church records. With regards to Pakenham Hall (Tullynally Castle), it just depends on what gate you come out of whether you are nearer Castlepollard or Coole.

Regards,

Hi,  My family, Connor, Lee, Reil, and Duff, originated on the Pakenham Estate and lived in the Kiltoom area which is part of the townland of Faughalstown.  The more recent baptisms and marriages were held in Mayne parish church in Coole however, some of the earlier ones were said to be in the Delvin parish.  I have never found any records of my family in Delvin.  I would have thought Castlepollard would have covered the area but no.  Can anyone shed light on when the changes were made and am I right to continue to search Delvin?

Hello Kelger123,

Could you clarify what you mean by "more recent" and "earlier" in year terms. Also what exactly you were told about Delvin.

Regards,

Feichin

I noticed a post regarding Halpin in Ozaukee, County Wisconsin.  I am a descendent of Thomas and Caterine Carny(Kearny) and Patrick Halpin.  I have been to Cedarburg, WI and maybe can be of assistance.  Does anyone know when Thomas Halpin emmigrated to the USA.

Thanks
JCoash

Hello JCoash,

I believe Thomas emigrated to the USA in 1842 / 1843, though I never came across any absolute proof of this.

A grandchild of Patrick Halpin (d.1905) and Bridget Heslin (d.1929) died recently.

I think the last of that generation of the family. I would be delighted if anyone could say that this is incorrect.

Good luck with your investigation. The areas on the map you have there basically stretches the length and breadth of Ireland so you have your work cut out.

I have never done the DNA thing. Maybe in the future. At the moment I concentrate on mapping the family correctly and recording any physical evidence that still remains.

I have just seen the record on irishgenealogy.ie. Very well done. Anyone researching in the future will have a far easier time.

Hello Kaligirl,

I hope that you are well.

Do I understand you correctly, you have registered your grandfather's birth in 1881.

Best of luck with your citizenship application.

Apologies for the delayed post, I had to modify my previous one. I think the house shown in the picture is where your grandfather lived in 1901.

I cannot be certain but I think that this may be what remains of the house that Patrick and Bridget Halpin lived in at the time of the 1901 census.

Due to the pandemic I'm reduced to online research. Hopefully when the restrictions are lifted I'll be able to learn some more.
