Edward Kemp's son was William Henry Kemp, not William Joseph Kemp. He was named as William H. Kemp on the 1861 Census, as Henry Kemp on the 1871 Census, & as William on the 1881 Census. Edward Kemp died in 1885 & left a will in which he names his two children as: William Henry Kemp & Elizabeth. He was shown as W.H. Kemp on the 1891 Census & was living with his sister. The birth of William Henry Kemp's first child, Jean Smith Kemp, on Jan. 14, 1894, names him as Wm. H. Kemp & his wife as Jean Durie. William H. Kemp & his family were shown on the 1901 Census still living in Grey North Co., Owen Sound as can be found at www.automatedgenealogy.com. He is named as Harry W. Kemp on the 1911 Grey North / 31 Sydenham / page 7 Census but I believe they just transcribed the name Henry as being Harry in error. William Henry Kemp's spinster sister, Bessie, was living with his family in 1911. I hope this helps. Cheryl (Kemp) Taber
