James' baptism 18 Oct 1868 at Curragh Camp - sadly no name for mother!! Sponsors James Lappin & Ellen Egan.  Could James be a brother to Thomas snr?

I was just looking at that baptism and thought the priest may have put the mother on the line below as Ellen Egan ?

@dathai @josey @jonw65 @cazza47 @crisane

thank you all so much.  let me review all the information and I'll see if it matches what I already have or even corrects information I have wrong!

Do you know when he died? Do you have him on any censuses?

Sadly. marriages on novascotiagenealogy.com start in 1864!! Would have stated both parties parents.

ADDED: Is this them in 1871  RG10; Piece: 2129; Folio: 75; Page: 28; Stoke Damerel Barracks
Thomas Lappin   33 b Belfast sergeant
Ella Lappin   26 b Halifax NS
Wache H Lappin   7 b New London, Canada
Thomas Lappin   5 b Aldershot
James Lappin   2 b Ireland

Hi yes this is them.  there is another child Alfred Ernest born 1875 in India

[susie_q]

https://registers.nli.ie/registers has the baptism 24 Fen 1839 at St Patrick's Belfast, mother Alice Mandile.

Also one 16 Mar 1834 son of Peter & Catherine.

Yes, so many spellings possible.

Hi
would it possible for the birth date to be so far out?  the 1871 census says abt 1838

[susie_q]

Not really relevant but probably Ellen's death
Deaths Jun 1910   
Lappin    Ellen    64    Salford    8d   20

ADDED: Can't find the marriage on British Armed Forces and Overseas Banns and Marriages on findmypast.

This certificate may give Ellen's maiden name.

Thomas' & James'  certificates are here too. Can't find Thomas on freebmd.org or James on irishgenealogy.ie.

Yes this is a strong possibility and another lead to follow

do you think he has died at this point as he is not on census?
