  Father	William Kemp,   b. 1804, Crossreagh, Ballyhaise, Cavan ,   d. 13 Jun 1877, Colac, Victoria, Australia  (Age 73 years)
  Mother	Jane Sharp,   b. Abt 1807, Ashfield, Cavan, Ireland ,   d. 20 Feb 1888, Colac, Victoria, Australia  (Age ~ 81 years)
  Married	Abt 1826	Castleterra, Cavan, Ireland   [2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13]
  Notes	This marriage is quoted in several online GEDCOMs, but unfortunately it is not recorded in the Castleterra marriage registers for 1825-26. There may be an oral tradition among the Colac Kemps that William's wife was also named Kemp before her marriage. And perhaps there was a memory of an origin in Castleterra parish, but I have seen no corroboration of this and the suspicion remains that this Jane Kemp has been selected because of convenience rather than evidence. At least one of the GEDCOMs claims Jane was born in Ashfield while still claiming her to be the daughter of Robert Kemp of Drumcalpin, and recording his other known daughters as being born in Drumcalpin - so why just one daughter born in Ashfield? There are Kemp families in Ashfield, and if this Jane was a Kemp before marriage, she could have come from there. That would lead to the likelihood that the marriage would have been held in Ashfield, the bride's home parish, and unfortunately the relevant Kildrumsherdiny parish registers are lost for the years in question. Therefore marriage between these two individuals while possible has to be considered questionable.
