John BULFIN b 1836 son of William BULFIN of Corrigeen

[shanew147]

that Bulfin family definitely look like a good possibility as relations to your John, maybe a younger brother ? ... worth following up.

According to Ryan's Irish Records the historic Church of Ireland records for the parish which cover this area (Eglish) are as listed as lost.

There's two early civil marriage records on the BMD Index in the area for the surname Bulfin that might be worth checking :

  Bulfin marriages 1845 -1870 / Parsonstown

and also some extracted civil marriage details for the surname - including a two  that mention districts or parishes in King's County - i.e. Ettagh and Eglish :

  Bulfin marriages 1846 to 1880

As I am doing research on William Bulfin the Irish Argentine writer, your quest interests me. Bulfin is quite a rare name in Ireland and they originate mostly in Co. Offaly (formerly King's County). As other posters have shown, there is a good deal of information on the internet, genealogical as well as historical - please also google William Bulfin, writer and Sir Stanislaus Bulfin. The person you are helping is almost certainly related to them, however distantly. I have tried to fit your 'John, son of William', into what I have learned so far about the Bulfins, but without success. The name William particularly, occurs very often in the genealogy. However, I discovered the following recent death notice online: you can also check it out for yourself:

The death has occurred of Francis John (Frank) BULFIN
Corrigeen, Fivealley, Birr, Offaly
Bulfin, Corrigeen, Fivealley, Birr, Co. Offaly, August 6th,2014.

There are Bulfins still resident in Corrigeen. Perhaps you might consider writing to them? Wishing you luck.

That is fabulous!  Is Bulfin a rare enough name that they would be related to the one who came to New Zealand?  I will see if I can find a death notice here and hopefully connect the dots...

Hi, I'v been doing some research on the Hynes Family from Carrigeen King's Co. Neighbours of the Bulfins. It's a very small townland ( see map http://thecareystree.weebly.com/anne-ferman-1865.htm) only the two families. In 1902 Thomas Bulfin and his son John got caught up in a feud between two members of the Hynes Families. (See court records http://thecareystree.weebly.com/court.html) Thomas Bulfin's neice Mary Ann was married to one of the Hynes, Francis. The Bulfins are Church of Ireland Presbyterian. Hope this helps a bit. John

Is this the same John Bulfin that married Isobel Moore in Nov 1868, & died in 1910?

If so, his parents would have been William Bulfin & Ann Greene
