I am looking for further information regarding my maternal G Grandfather William Dempsey 1859-1942. William was born in Sully to Irish Immigrant parents. The family first appear on the 1861 Wales census, his father is working and the family are living at Hays farm Sully. At 13 he is listed as a farm servant. 1881 he’s a farm labourer in Lavernock. By 1891 he’s married to Emma Morgan they have three children and they are living in Canton he is now listed as a policeman. In total they have 7 children ( I have discovered 5 of the 7 children) 1911 the family is living in Seymour street Splott. William lives at this address until his death in 1942.
I would like to learn more about his life as a dock policeman, any information regarding his life growing up and working on farms.
