I finally received the letter from Holy Cross for the plot in Brooklyn, the final resting place for Catherine Jennings Dempsey (great-great-grandmother), and most of Mariah Dempsey O'Grady's (great-grandmother) siblings.
Of interest of course is that the plot owner is listed as Catherine's son Thomas Dempsey, who emigrated to the US with his mother and most of his siblings (but not sister Mariah who marries Thomas Grady of Derreentighe, or Catherine's husband's namesake Bernard, who goes to the UK). Thomas returns to Ireland at some point. Could he somehow be tied to one of the two Thomas Dempseys in Cloonreliagh or Moorfield?
