1939 Patrick G Dempsey/Dimpsey was born 23 February 1924.

4 years before they were married

I cannot find a Patrick Dempsey nor a Patrick Stockley or a Patrick Biffin.

Do you know anything else about him?

Just found this - so she might be under SCOTT in 1921


THRICE WED IN THREE YEARS.
Curious Marriage Tangle Story.

Woman acquitted on Bigamy Charge

A curious marriage tangle, in which Faith Stockley (24) was stated to have married three men in three years, was told at the Kent Assizes, when Mrs Stockley was found not guilty of bigamously marrying Albert Scott at St Paul’s Church, Chatham.
Mrs Stockley said that in July 1918, she met a Canadian Soldier named Davis, and married him on August 20. She returned to her mother and Davis went back to the front.
He saw her again in 1919 and told  her that he already had a wife and children in Canada. She thereupon believed the marriage to be illegal, as it had not been consummated, and married Stockley on march 24, 1919.
Stockley was sent to the China station for eighteen months, but in November 1920 Davis again came back and told her that his wife had died in 1916, but that he had not been aware of the fact at the time of his marriage to her. Mrs Stockley thereupon thought she was not bound to Stockley, and married Scott on March 17 1921.
Mr Justice Balihache said it was a curious story. If Mrs Stockley married Davis, and of that there was no doubt, her marriage with Stockley was a bigamous marriage. She was charged with committing bigamy with Scott because she was the wife of Stockley, and on that charge it was the duty of the jury to find her not guilty.

I wonder if Patrick senior was a widower, and Patrick Junior born in Ireland?
