more Dempseys

 The name Laurence has appeared a lot in the Dempsey searches. I ignored this one initially because it was transcribed as "Cloonscleagh", but once you view the image you can see it is Cloonreliagh. (also, there is no townland of Cloonscleagh).


Aug 1, 1841, Bernard of Laurence Dempsey and Bridget Swift. Sps John Tormey and Beth Dempsey.

This can't be the Bernard that is the father of Mariah in 1854. But, there's another Bernard in Cloonreliagh at this time, just to make things confusing 180 years later!

And this one: July 22, 1843, Laurence of Larry Dempsey and Bridget Swift, Sps Celia Quinn. 

I included the record above because it says: "C. Reliagh"
