I have this lot who are almost certainly part of my family but I've been stuck on them for a long while and wondered if anyone could see anything that I can't.
They are two sisters, Mary Dempsey born c1806 Cork, Ireland and Catherine Adams bc1817 Whitechapel, London plus Mary's daughters Bridget and Mary.
1841 Wentworth Street, Spitalfields
Mary Dimsey 30 charwoman Ireland
Bridget 7 Middlesex
Mary 3 Middlesex
1851 Sharps Alley, St Sepulchre
Catherine Adams head unm 33 musical string maker St Mary Whitechapel
Mary Dempsey sister widow 44 " " " Cork, Ireland
Mary Dempsey daughter 13 St Mary Whitechapel
1851 Whitechapel North
Bridget Dempsey 16 servant Whitechapel
1861 Cowcross Street St Sepulchre
Mary Dempsey head widow 57 musical string maker Cork Ireland
Bridget Dempsey dau 25 unm " " " Mile End
Catherine Adams lodger 44 unm " " " Whitechapel
After this, I lose them all. I can't find appropriate marriages or deaths or future census returns.
There is a possible for Catherine Adams in Flower & Dean Street, Spitalfields in 1871 but I'm not convinced.
I think it's quite likely that the Mary Dempsy who married in Sep 1856 Holborn is the younger Mary but I can't find her on any census - the males are James Benson and (more likely) Morris Connell.
