Michael Dempseys

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1916/05241/4452141.pdf



Michael Dempsey, age 71, dies April 10, 1916. 
Thomas Grady, grand nephew, is "Present at Death. Derreenteighe".

This would have to be Thomas & Mariah's youngest son, Thomas (Finola's grandfather). 

Grand Uncle would imply this is Mariah's uncle ... brother to Bernard and Thomas? Likely!

His son Michael marries Kate Silk.

Their child Michael, born 1916 in Keyfield:

Dempsey Pic #2 -- Bernard Dempsey & Catherine Jennings (Mariah's parents)


O'Grady tree: assuming the O'Gradys in neighboring Keyfield, Castlefield and Foxboro are relatives, they are liklely sons of the same Great, Great grandfather, Michael Grady

The full O'Grady-Dempsey tree (starting with Thomas Grady and Mariah Dempsey). Some repeat of branches above, but maybe a better view? It seems the picture loses clarity when I make it this big ... need to research option on that.
