Another item from Wendy, who found a record of the Dempseys of Farm (neighboring townland) in 1858:
Zoom:
So, Nov 5, 1858, Order Book of the Lord Lieutenant of Galway; while it says complainant and defendant, it seems to be for payment of wages:
"Laurence Dempsey, Labourer of Farm. Parish of Templetoher, Complt. Same defendants as No 8.
Wages amount 14/= being for his services up to the 25th December next, having been discharged by defendant without cause on the 21st Oct 1858. "
"William Dempsey, Labourer of Farm. Complainant. Same defendants as No 8.
Wages amount 16/= Balance due Complainant for his services ending 23rd May 1858"
No 8 on top list the defendant as "Edward Hannelly of BiddysHannelly (?), Landholders of Coarsefield. Defendant"
Laurence Dempsey is listed as sponsor on Anne Dempsey's baptism in 1856, which likely mean he is Thomas's brother.
(Will need to post that image later ...)
