Moorfield part #2

So, trying to find relationship between the Dempseys of Moorfield and the Dempseys of Cloonreliagh.

Noticed that Anne Dempsey Reynolds of Moorfield goes to the US, and brings her nieces with her in 1921. See:

Her address? 139 Sullivan St! So, Anne goes to live near Martin O'Grady, who lived at 138 Sullivan St? They must be related?

Well, not quite. 1910 US census:



It is Martin who goes to Sullivan Street because his cousin Anne lives there! She emigrated early, 1890 or so! 

Is he a boarder, or a distant cousin? We think his mother's grandfather Brian and Anne's grandfather are siblings ... not sure what that means, distant but likely cousins enough!
