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?

Sue
