Thomas & Brigid Dempsey

This Thomas is the son of Thomas, Bernard's brother. So, Mariah's first cousin.

Thomas & Brigid's son Patrick is also listed. This Patrick will have a daughter, Margaret, who marries John Farrell ... PJ Farrell's parents (hello PJ!)

Patrick McNeill here is likely related to Sean McNeill (cousin).

It feel good to be researching again!
