Hi Carol, sorry have been away and only just got back and saw your message. I am so so stuck with this party of the family I only know that Mary's father was a Michael Doyle and he was a farmer from Wexford I never thought that there would be different areas within Wexford. I know that Peter Dempsey was also a farmer again Wexford I am sorry I don't have much else to go on I think this is why I have come to a standstill.
Kind regards Gill

Hi Gill
If you take a look at this website www.leitrim-roscommon.com you will find partial census 1901 for Wexford amongst others. There are Doyle and Dempsey families on there. I found a couple that might match you Dempsey and Doyle relatives. The trick with this site is the less information you put in the more reslults you get. I typed in just the county Wexford and the surname either Doyle or Dempsey. Hope it helps :)

Gillian,
If you go to Griffiths valuation on line for wexford you will findplenty of Dempsey & Doyle Families for Co. Wexford. Grifiths was done between 1848-1864. So you should find something there too. Also try roots web irish ancestryfor wexford. :)

Griffith's Valuation can be searched here by name or place:

I have discovered that Aidan was born in 1910. According to the Household return form in the 1911 census he was 7 months (census date 2nd April) so that would mean he was born September 1910.
He married Mary Anne Kelly on 3rd Aug 1936.

I have a Doyle and Dempsey (3rd ggp) marriage from Enniscorthy from about 1826. Cecilia Dempsey was born in 1803 and married John Doyle. Not sure about John and where he was born. Cecilia's mother was Sara Orengy (a French woman) the wife of Patrick Dempsey.
