Hello,
Hoping to find out more information about the Parlins in Ireland. My grandfather was John Parlin and his father was Patrick Parlin of County Louth. Patrick's brother was a Catholic priest. His name was Rev. Henry Parlin.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Can you claridy when your grandfather was born? I looked at the 1901 census and the only Parlin in Co. Louth was a Michael Parlin in Drogheda.

Hi Roger,
My great grandfather Patrick Parlin was born in January 1858 in Rathescar, County Louth.
Patrick’s brother Henry (a Catholic priest) was born May 7, 1866 in Dunleer, County Louth.
I found a letter to my grandfather from his Uncle Henry dated Christmas 1929 which mentions the psssing of cousin Margaret McKeown (née Pentony, Donnellystown). She died five months earlier.
I was hoping you might be able to determine how they are related as cousins.
Thank you.
Donna
Hi Donna!
I located Margaret's marriage record in 1915 and her birth record in 1882. Her mother's maiden name was Ward ( I was hoping Parlin). So I'm not sure how Margaret is related.
