Westmeath / Re: Dempsey/ Hartpole Dempsey family, Ballynacargy

Dear Cousin,
Please forgive my delay in responding - I only found and read your message today.
I have accumulated much information. Too much for me to easily communicate but most has been found on-line. I am fascinated to learn how you are descended from Harpole.
Harpole Rogers (1839-1914) was the son of Stephen (1802-1843) and Hannah Howard (1849-1931).
Stephen was the son of George (1767-1857) and Martha (1770-1850) and married Hannah Dempse
of Ballinacargy in 1834. I am satisfied that Hannah Dempsey was the daughter of Hartpole Dempsey, farmer. The Hartpole family of Ireland is well documented from the 16th century - but what the connection is with Hartpole Dempsey I cannot say.
Hannah Howard was the daughter of Edward Howard (1802-1894) and Esther Fry (1814-1879).
Edward was the son of Abraham (1782-1859) who was the son of Edward (born c. 1750).
Esther Fry was the daughter of James Fry and Isabella and the granddaughter of Thomas Fry (1752-1839) and Isabella ( 1765-1861).
My grandmother was Annie Elizabeth Rogers (1886-1931).I know she had a brother and a number of sisters but have no photographs of them so I don't even know what she looked like - can you help?
I hope the above is of interest and would much like to hear further from you.
