Hi,
I'm trying to find information on John Dempsey, born 1875 to Hugh & Ellen Dempsey.
John married Esther Thompson from Demoan, Pontzpass. I can find three children registered.
The first Sarah in 1911, Joseph in 1916 & William in 1919.
It was noted on Josephs birth certificate that John was a soldier in France.
I can find the birth certificates for the children, but have been unable to find birth/death or marriage certificate for John.
Thanks,
Denise

& Drumeil (1911). Hugh's parents were Mark Dempsey & Elizabeth Vincent.

Hi,
John is listed on the 1901 census with his parents Hugh & Ellen.
Esther is my great-grand mother, we have no further information other than the birth certificate which shows her as being nee Thompson.

Thank you, I am unsure if John & Esther married. Esther was my great-grand mother & unfortunately all the information we have on John is the birth certificate for my grandmother Sarah.
