Without appearing to hijack this thread, I too, have a Dempsey in my tree.
William Dempsey b abt 1894 and lived at Balnameen married a much younger woman,
Mary Taggart about 1946-50 but, sadly died after a tragic road accident in Feb 1965 in Birmingham.
(Knocked over and killed on a zebra crossing).
Don't know whether this has any relevance to the other Dempsey's in this thread but who knows?
Also my grandparents lived in Garvagh, (where my mother and her sister Mary were brought up)
James Hamilton b 1879 d abt 1955 buried? at Garvagh 1st. Presbyterian Church.
Emma Hamilton (wife) b 1897 d 1987 buried? St Pauls' C of I.
Emma was a cleaner at St Pauls for many years.
Kind regards
Jim
