I have been unable to complete my search on Margaret Dempsey born 14/12/1889 Meelmane, Clonakility to Daniel Dempsey and Mary Brien, I have found all her siblings etc, however I have been unable to find if Margaret then went on to marry, had children or moved abroad?   I have been checking through passenger lists, I can't get anything concrete to confirm I have correct person.   I am unsure where else I can check.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

  • Is this the death cert for Mary Dempsey, Daniel's wife?

  • HI Thank you for reply, I also seen this marriage certificate but I am sure father's name on this is Denis and profession is Farmer.    Margaret's dad was Fisherman and at time a Carpenter.   Looks like another Margaret Dempsey.

     

    Mary Dempsey nee Brien died 1893 during child birth.   

     

    Unsure where else I can check.

  • The 1901 census shows Daniel Dempsey living with four sons in a house enumerated # 53, and in the house nearby, #54, is Margaret Dempsey (Daniel's sister) with her niece Eliza, Daniel's daughter, (9 years) old. I looked for Margaret (12 years old) living with another relative, but could not locate her. Maybe she died? However, I could not find her in the civil death records either. Have you checked with her mother's relations to see if she is with one of them in the 1901 census?

    Regards,

  • Thanks Carolyn, the only thing I found on census records was a Maggie Dempsey age 13 working as a servant in Dromdaleague, which I think is about 1 hour away from where she was born, I cannot connect any of the family members to whom she is working for her, that is, if I have the correct Maggie.

    This one has really stumped me as I can't think of any other direction to go in.
