These are wonderful resources - thank you!

The only documentation I can find for Thomas is the 1901 census and two ship manifests.
Is it possible two Patrick Halpin/Bridget Heslin families could have lived in Westmeath?

Have you been able to check church records for baptism of the Halpin children?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I have checked both the civil and church records of the Halpin children, but can find no baptism records as of yet.
Interestingly, I can find no church marriage for Bridget and Patrick either.
Still searching and thanks!

Christopher's baptism 8 Aug.1878 (#232 in register)- hard to read but increasing contract helps-

Unfortunately online baptisms there stop 1881- http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0912

Really appreciate your assistance - I've been finding the same problem with earlier records. Looks like the focus has been Dublin, which makes sense...

The wonderful end result is I may be able to find current relatives :)
