I can’t see any evidence to support the Dempster name for Mary Ann, I’m afraid.  What is the source for that?

Thanks for the help.

Dempster was listed on one of the records I'd found in previous research.  After further digging, it looks like her name was Tomlin instead.

I have a feeling that DEMPSTER was the name of Geo B snr's step-father.

If you look for Henry S DEMPSTER in 1870 in Philly-you'll see Geo B MORRIS and Clara MORRIS sort of "squeezed" into the DEMPSTER family.
 
In 1860 the family are transcribed as DINSISTER (Philly).

that would explain a bit.  Thanks Maureen.  (and thanks avm228)

George Buckley Morris was my grandfather born January 7, 1878 and died August 28, 1964 while living with his son in Maywood, Illinois. Both he and my grandmother, Maud, are buried in Arlington Cemetery, Drexel Hill, PA. They had 5 children.
I have George's mother listed as MaryAnn Tomlin as mother's maiden name on the certificate of death, but my aunt's notes list her as Dempster. Could someone help me clarify this and lead me in the right direction?
