Larkin Bankruptcy
Hello (again).
I am still looking for my Larkin ancestors. Bernard Larkin was my great great great grandfather. He was also the grandfather of James Larkin (Big Jim Larkin).
Bernard moved to Liverpool with his daughter, Anne and sons, Hugh and James. Other children remained in Armagh. He lived with Anne in Liverpool until his death.
Anne's husband, Laurence McAteer, left Liverpool to emigrate to USA and left his wife, son and the Larkin relations in Liverpool. The ship he was sailing on was lost at sea with all hands when it collided with a whaling boat off the Dingle Peninsular in March 1866.
My query is this. I have found an entry in the Dublin Evening Mail dated June 14th 1865. Under the heading 'Bankrupts and Insolvents Insolvency' Bernard Larkin late of Aghayalloge, in the county of Armagh, farmer and labourer.
On Anne's marriage to Laurence McAteer she states her father's name as Bernard, a farmer and her address as Aghayalloge.
The time frame matches. The date of the bankruptcy notice and the emigration of my great great grandfather less than 12 months later.
Would there have been some kind of hearing where details of the bankruptcy would have been reported? If so where would I look for it?
Thank you for reading this.
Frances (nee McAteer)
