    There 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

    All four women seem to vanish into the ether, as many of my Irish in this area of London do. There are loads of possible deaths in North and East London for Mary Dempsey between 1861 and 1871 but I have just come across these deaths in Holborn (the relevant district) on FreeBMD -

    1888 Catherine Adams aged 73
    1891 Bridget Dempsey aged 52

    It's possible that these are mine. But if they ain't where are they in 1871 and 1881?

    If they died 1881 and 1891 they should certainly be around in 71 and 81.

      You'd think so, Nell : ) Whoever the two in the death indices were, I can't find them to prove or disprove they're mine.

        Frustrating, isn't it. I'll see if I can see anything different.
