This was the only Thomas & Helen Kemp couple in Ancestry, young enough to qualify. There is also a Helen J Kemp located in the Social Security Death Index. She died in FL in 2000 and a Thomas S Kemp in the SSDI who died in GA in 1998. These may not be the same couple who got divorced in TX and may not be your parents. But it is a place to start.
