I have the Birth Register for my Grandfather William Kempson born September 1883 Laughafonta, Cloonclare (I have the original in my possession). William's parents were Joseph KEMPSON (born 1859 Laughafonta) and Elizabeth Jane ROSS (born 1859 Manorhamilton). I believe Joseph's father was also a Joseph Kempson who died Blackpark, Leitrim 1883. Eliza's father was I believe a Thomas or John Ross.
How or where do I go about finding out more about the family.
There was a spelling change at some point of the Kempson name to Kempston so there are now relatives in Ireland (and elsewhere) with both spellings.
Thanks for any help.
