Bernard Dempsey - UK - Mariah's brother

Bernard Dempsey and Catherine Jennings' son Bernard is born 1862 and later moves to the UK. He marries Mary Nolan, 1886:

This is from Wendy DeRiancho. Of interest is that we (if you are reading this, you are part of 'we'!) are related to Wendy via Thomas Dempsey of Moorefield, who's daughter marries into the Dillon family. We're still not sure how that Thomas Dempsey is related to the Cloonreliagh Dempseys, but they are.

We are now even more closely related to Wendy: "He  (Bernard) married Mary Nolan in 1886 Liverpool, and he lists his father as Bernard as well on the marriage certificate.  They had Anne Dempsey.  Anne married Patrick Bohan.  Anne and Patrick's son, James, is the grandfather of a Dempsey match for me on MyHeritage! "

What is ALSO interesting to me is that Sean McNeil, descended from great-grandfather Thomas's brother Henry, and Wendy, descended from great-grandmother Mariah's brother Bernard, are BOTH very determined researchers of family history!

1891 UK census, Johnstone St, Bootle:



1901 UK census:



Baptism for son Bernard 1888, hard to read. Note latinized spellings for names ... how annoying!
"Bernardus Dempey, Mariae Dempsey", etc


Bernard, father,  dies 1909.
Here's his son, Bernard, 1911 UK census. 15 Hamlet St, Bootle:
  

Daughter Annie, 2 Johnstone St, Bootle:

Anne marries Patrick Bohan, 1926:


So great-great-grandfather Bernard dies 1871 at age 45 and leaves a family to scatter.
His son Bernard dies young, age 47 (?), and his family scatters. So sad ... !

This looks like Bernard Jr's son Bernard, born 1888/1889, leaving the ship SS Haverford after returning to port in 1913:
His address is 113 Deily Rd, Blte ... could be Bootle?
