Hello Don
Stumbled across Halpenny forum with great interest.It seems that not all the Halpennys left to cross the Atlantic - my late grandmother Catherine Agnew, nee Byrne, was from near Arklow, Co. Wicklow, and I can distinctly remember her telling me that either her mother's or her grandmother's maiden name was HALPENNY.My gran was born in about 1896, in County Wicklow.Perhaps some of them are still there, I don't know.Anyway this grandmother of mine had 10 children (typical Irish) including my father, we are the Agnews, so that is another connection for you.
Best wishes
Elaine Geer (nee Agnew)
