Halpins in Westmeath

[kaligirl]

I assume since I transcribed this from the Griffith's Valuation Record Information, it meets the requirements of RootsChat. After transcribing, I found the date (1854). Since my ancestor was born in 1851, the Patrick in this record is most likely an uncle.

My apologies, I picked that up wrong. Yes it does make sense. If Christopher's (died 1890) baptism record could be found it might confirm it.

If you are viewing Griffith's Valuation, take a look at Lakill and Moortown in St. Feighin's parish. You will see references to Halfpenny, often used instead of Halpin. You will also see references to Donnelly and Heslam (Heslin?). Corrigans can be found in other townlands in the parish.

Wonderful!
Will do.

I could find no evidence that there was a connection between the Halpins of Sheepstown and the Halpins of Lakill and Moortown.

I know some Will Calendars were posted, have you looked at all of them?

Hallmark,

You will have to forgive me but I can see nothing in the links that you posted that shows any connection between the Halpins of Sheepstown and the Halpins of Lakill and Moortown. If you could direct me to the relevant sections I'd be very grateful.

Oh I do apologize, thought there might be something new in them.

Won't bother even looking up Wills and Deeds etc......
