Confusing. This birth obviously does not match the marriage cert you received earlier.

One possibility I can think of, Felix may not have been named on his birth cert. If you search for Male Dempsey you will find 1 birth in the Dublin area 1860-1869. (The 1865 Felix may have been a cousin?).

Best wishes in sorting it out.

Dara.

I have received the marriage cert. for Joseph Dempsey b. 1863 Dublin - he too lists Henry Dempsey as his father.  This means Joseph, Mary Ann & Felix were all the children of Henry Dempsey & Mary.  So who is the Michael Mary's son Joseph put on his mother's death cert.???  He too was a cabinet maker - wonder if she married Michael after Henry died, then he died too??  Wonder if he is the father of the Felix born 1865??  Wonder if that Felix died??   - A lot of wondering going on!! ???

I am no nearer with my Dempsey research - the only Felix recorded is in 1865 at 33 Liffey Street, Dublin N. to Michael Dempsey & Mary Judge - yet Felix's marriage & death certs. give his DOB as 1869.
His marriage gives his father as Henry Dempsey, Cabinet Maker, decd. - as do the marriages of his siblings, Joseph (1863) & Mary Ann (1867).  Yet his mother's death cert. gives her as widow of Michael. ???

It's not at all uncommon for people's ages to vary between one record and the next (even in early 1900s many people wouldn't have known their exact date of birth) and it's just as common for details on a death certificate to be incorrect.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Bridget born 1859 seems to be buried Glasnevin in 1861 with address of Liffey St
Then you have
Bridget Dempsey born 11 Sep 1872 same parents possibly buried Glasnevin 1873 age 8 months
Family Search is not available for links for me at the moment keeps saying try later.

This would appear to be Henry the Carpenter on the 1901 Census

His first wife Mary died and remarried to Eliza in 1872.
