Surnames: Dempsey Walker Holmes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/378 Message Board Post: Eliza Dempsey was my GG Grandmother b 1/9/1852. She was the daughter of Philo Dempsey and Lydia Walker. I have been told by relatives that she was not actually their daughter but was only raised by Philo and Lydia. She was born to a neighbor who died in childbirth. Can anybody help to clear this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
