Dempseys 1840s

 Top of page:

So 1840. Is that January abbreviated? Included top of page since that Pat Jennings could somehow piece into how Catherine Jennings ends up in Cloonreliagh.

Further down same page, on 19th (January?) 1840. Michael of Bryan Dempsey and B. Mannion, sponsors Pat & Catherine Heany (?)

Included the following clip too since it involves the Waldrons of Foxborough ... more pieces to the puzzle!

This is March, 1842. "C Reliagh. 5th. Cath of Bryan Dempsey and B Mannion, sponsors John Dempsey and ? Dempsey"

July 22, 1843:

"Lawrence of Larry Dempsey and B Swyft (?) Sps Cecily Quinn (?) Der. Tigue"

Aug 1, 1841, Cloonreliagh: "Bern'd of Lawrence Dempsey and Brid. Swift. Sps ? Torney (?) and ? Dempsey"

So it looks like Laurence and Bryan are both around at the same time, raising families.

Bernard born 1841 can't be 'our' Bernard, who dies 1871 at age 45.

I realize some of this is duplicated from earlier posts ...
