Thanks Sarah, I didn't realise I couldnt put my email address, could you also please notify user  bd_1006 as I feel there is a strong connection there too

I too am trying to track down any relations to John and Agnes (nee Broadhurst) Dempsey, they are my Great Great Grandparents who lived in NZ, my Great Grandfather was Frederick John Dempsey who married Ruth Pricilla Pinnell, Im especially interested in the author who posted the one I copied onto my post, sounds like a connection

Dear Jessie4me,

I too am interested in John & Joseph Dempsey brothers born in Liverpool.
Both brothers travelled to NZ about 1863 and were saddle makers in the South Island.
John married Agnes Broadhurst in Aston Juxta Birmingham on 8 Dec 1862.
I'm descended from them.
I did research on NZ histories about 15 years back & have only restarted looking today.  A distant relative from the South Island informed me back then that John & Joseph's fathers name was Tenis (very similar to Terris) but I could never find a document that explained why as all the ones I had from NZ said John, carpenter, of Lancashire. Please let me know if you think we are looking for the same ancestors and want to combine efforts-Cheers
