Hi Allan,
Not sure if this is any help but there's an Isaac James Leah marrying a Rebecca Dempster in West Derby registration district, Sep 1907 8b 1132
(marriage took place at West Derby register office according to Lancashire BMD)
:)

Allan.
The only Rebecca DEMPSTER I could find (BN C1880-1890) was:
Rebecca Agnes DEMPSTER
Bn June Qtr 1882, Birkenhead 8a 532
-
The one I can see on census was born 1887 Liverpool (birth registered Sep 1887 Toxteth Park) :)
Little Rebecca Agnes dies in 1883 :(

Hi all
On http://freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl there are five Birth Registrations listed in Toxteth Park for children with the surname Leah and a Mother’s Maiden Name of Dempster. They occur in 1911, 1914, 1915, 1918 and 1920. There are four males and one female. I have not shown the names here so as not to infringe the site policy about identifying possible living individuals.
There may be other births between 1907 and 1911 (which do not show maiden names) and after 1920 in the complete GRO Index.
Allan,
Check them out and see if the names mean anything to you.

In the Complete GRO Indexes there are another four Birth Registrations for children with the surname Leah and Mother’s Maiden Name of Dempster between 1920 and 1930.
They are all males and they occur in 1921, 1923, 1924 and 1926. The first is in Toxteth Park (like the earlier ones) and the last three are in Liverpool.
If you do not have access to the Indexes (and you think that these people are yours) let me know and I will send you a Personal Message with the details.

Hi Allan
I have sent you a PM with a list of nine Birth Registrations for children with the surname Leah in Toxteth Park (first six) and Liverpool (last three) where the Mother’s Maiden Name was Dempster.
The five names that you quote from Isaac and Rebecca's grandson are all there, which seems to confirm that the Dempster Maiden Name (and the 1907 Marriage) is the correct one.
