Author: P_Thurlow Surnames: Kemp Leahey Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.kemp/1878/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for information on Joseph Kemp born in England. I would like to know where in England, I was told Yorkshire. He married Mary Leahey widow of (Richard H. Leahey.) She was born in Ireland and I would like to know where, if possible. Would anyone know who Joseph's parents were. I would like to find out what Mary's maiden name was also. My g-grandfather William Kemp was born in Quebec but immigrated to Portland, Maine. He married Sarah Sweeney. Joseph, Mary and family died in the September 19, 1889 landslide on Champlain St. Quebec. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks, Patty (Kemp)Thurlow Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Have you found Joseph and Mary on the 1880 Canadian census? May give birthplace, but at least an idea of where they were born which would help. After that the Irish BMDs are LDS films, I doubt they are on familysearch. Catholic BMDs start 1864, before that, only Protestants, but the Canadian census will record Mary's religion. Joseph's birth if after 1837 may be able to be found on-line. Where did they marry? If in England, try FreeBMD.
