Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Evening Jim.... I am sure if you ask someone on here they will help you out with the info you need..I do not use Ancestry or would do it for you... Does it give you a number of the House in Borris Road where Edward was born (Daft question really when we didnt have them ..but there is a Lizzie Brophy (69yrs) living at house No.9 on the 1911 census...thought at first she may have been Margarets Mother..but Margarets age on the 1911 Census tends to dispel that theory.... I have not seen your original thread with the Baptismal dates etc. What made you think Edwards father was also in the Army...?

I agree that it is unlikely that Lizzie Brophy was Margarets mother, but I suppose it depends on how young people got married in that day & age. My thinking that Richard was also in the army was erroneous! I had a senior moment and confused Richard with Patrick (who was Edwards brother). Sorry for any confusion I have caused. I'm sorry about not posting the baptism records. I received them 5 years ago from Irish Midlands Ancestry. They are a copy of the Portlaoise Parish Baptismal records. The information headings are YEAR,MONTH, SURNAME, CHILD, FATHER, MOTHER, PAGE and the information is as follows: 1882, 10, Dempsey, Edward, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 89. 1883, 11, Dempsey, Mary Anne, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 100 1885, 1, Dempsey, Thomas, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 110. 1886, 3, Dempsey, John, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 119. 1887, 10, Dempsey, Serah, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 131. 1888, 112, Dempsey, Chistie, Richard, Margaret Brophey. 139. 1890, 9, Dempsey, Julia Agnes, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 153. 1892, 5, Dempsey, Joseph, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 2. 1894, 3, Dempsey, Patrick, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 16. 1895, 6, Dempsey, Richard, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 26. 1896, 10, Dempsey, John Joseph, Richard, Margaret Brophey, 38. Once again thanks so much for all the help you have given. regards Jim

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Morning Jim.... Will have a look at the Baptisms and see what I can gleam from the info. There were a few Dempsey families in the MountM/Marybro.area and each named the children more or less the same..as you know this does confuse matters somewhat... I would put Jeremiah on hold at the moment as he may have been the son of Michaeal Dempsey and Ellen Cotter who also had a son named Edward ...He is listed as living in Marybro.aged 27yrs. (1911) with wife and son Richard aged 1... I imagine the families are all related through Richard sen.
