I am trying to find any further records of Fineas Johnston of Newtown, Tyrrelspass, Westmeath.
My great great grandfather was a William Johnston of Westmeath circa 1790.  My great grandfather was Robert Hardcastle Johnston of Newtown, Westmeath. 1818.  If anyone has come across any records relating to these I would be very interested.
Thank you
J

Cool....I am related to Daniel Dempsey...he is my great great grandfather too I think...so your great grandad must have been Robert Dempsey, his son??

Hi jane
i'm new to this site but delighted to see your post as my mother was a dempsey! born in rahugh, part of kilbeggan parish. a couple of miles from tyrells pass my gr gandfather was also a daniel dempsey, but he was married to a brigid bracken. could we share info and see where that gets us?
all the best

Hi to you...yes...lets see where we get to with this.

Seems there are a fair few Dempseys in and around Kilbeggan parish...have you looked up Griffiths Valuation....it was done in Westmeath in 1854 and I have found Daniel Dempsey and Robert (possibly brothers) living/renting property in the area and there is an Edward Dempsey...

My gr gr grandfather was Daniel Dempsey Army private then Corporal born 1811/12 and on leaving the army in 1855 or so settled back in Tyrellspass. He married Winifred Judge....

so I wonder who your Daniel Dempsey is...have you any more info??

Will look out notes and see what else i have.
