Electoral rolls
1931
Thomas O'DEMPSEY, grocer, 543 Church St Richmond (Vic) with Manilla Cavitie Court O'DEMPSEY, home duties
I cannot see either of them later; there is a Thomas O'Dempsey in Qld but he and many others with same surname appear in Darling Downs Qld before this Thomas emigrated. I see a Patrick Thomas O'Dempsey later in Victoria.
Modified to add
1936, 1937, 1943
Manilla Cavitie C DEMPSEY, clerk, 36 Weigall St, South Yarra. By coincidence of the surnames being close alphabetically at the same address is Reyer Laurence DE MOEL, labourer
1936 also has Laurence DE MOEL, cutter
1949 Manilla is still at Weigall St, at same address Margaret Eilleen DEMPSEY, munitions worker - no De Moel
1954 - there are two entries for Manilla, one at Weigall St - none of the others at that address but also
Manilla Cavitte DEMPSEY, supervisor, 15 Cobham Rd, Mitcham
Cheers, Judith

DE MOEL, REYER LAURENCE has a ww2 Service Record in the Royal Australian Air Force. It shows hisDate of Birth 4 Aug 1914 and his Place of Birth is MELBOURNE, VIC. He enlisted on 23 Aug 1940 and was then living at FITZROY enlisting in MELBOURNE, VIC
Next of Kin DE MOEL, VALERIE
Date of Discharge 7 Nov 1945.
There is also one for
DEMPSEY, THOMAS
in the Australian Army for just 2 months.
It shows his Date of Birth to be 15 Apr 1895. Is that right?
His Place of Birth is WEXFORD, IRELAND and he enlisted on 28 Feb 1940 at SEYMOUR, VIC
Next of Kin DEMPSEY, WHYLMA
Date of Discharge 29 Apr 1940
I see he was in the CANTEEN SERV which may tie in with his GROCERY trade.

Hi All
Delighted to get this much information Thomas seems to have dissapeared and his son
Sylvester Thomas had a brother in Australia Pat he left his wife in Ireland and I think she had no more contact with him Thomas was uppose to have met him working in a Barbers shop
So the story goes It is the right Thomas as I can confirm Manilla Couvette Court Wilcox was his wife
Very distincitive
Regards Mirann

Hi Miran,
I wonder if you could clarify just a little for me some points in your last post.
Thomas DEMPSEY had a son named SYLVESTER THOMAS?
SYLVESTER seems also to have disappeared?
THOMAS DEMPSEY had a brother in Australia named PAT.?
PAT left his wife in Ireland.
THOMAS DEMPSEY met his brother PAT in a BARBER's shop?
Have I understood correctly?

Hi Sue

When Thomas emigrated his brother Pat had already been there for some years
andthey met accidently in a Barbers shop How true I dont know
Regard Ann
-
So who does Sylvester belong to?
-
Hi Ann ,
Thanks for your clarification.
Just the other of the queries (which Merlin has asked again above :))
Thomas DEMPSEY had a son named SYLVESTER THOMAS?
SYLVESTER seems also to have disappeared? SUE {quote words of mirann}
So, can you address this one please.
Sue
-
Hi All
Thomas had a seven month old son named Sylvester When he arrived in Australia
Sylvester was a Dempsey family name .Hes not mentioned in his Mothers death notice
regards Mirann
Merlins O Dempseys look like they are right Father was Sylvester and Mother was Margaret
Murphy Thomas was born16/04/1894 Patrick born 25/03/1896 Patrick (pat) left his wife in
Ireland But Thomas in both names I dont know maby it was a family thing
-
Hi All,
I wonder if it would be revealing to see if there is any further information on WHYLMA DEMPSEY who is listed as Thomas's NOK on his war service record?
Sue
-
Hello, I've just discovered this site. Thomas Dempsey was my grand father and I am the daughter of his eldest, Margaret Eileen. This is amazing. I'm in Australia, and have contact with some of Patrick's grandchildren. Thomas's son, slyvester William, is my uncle Bill..

SYLVESTER seems also to have disappeared?[/i][/color] SUE {quote words of mirann}
So, can you address this one please.
Sue
Did Sylvester return to Ireland?
-
I think the Slyvester you are enquiring about was an older brother of Patrick and Thomas and do not believe he came to Australia
