Laphens in Dublin

By Carol MacGuinness September 04, 2002 at 05:18:45

Joseph Laphen (c.1851) married Mary McArdle

and had children:

Mary (Molly) Laphenb. 1877
Patrick Laphen1881
John Laphen1882/3
Anne Laphen1882
James Laphen1887

They lived in Dublin and had a butcher's shop in Moore Street. Mary immigrated to New York (1914) and Anne followed with her family (1923).At least one of the brothers went to Canada after that.


Always pronounced the name with a "p" sound as in Lappin.
Molly always insisted they had a French origin and pronounced it with a French accent.

Would like to hear from anyone with this name.

Carol
