Martin Loftus/Ellen Dempsey - Ireland 1800s.
I am a descendant of James Loftus, son of Martin Loftus and Ellen Dempsey. James was born in N. Ireland on 19/7/1835 and died in Australia in 1912. He and his wife, Sarah Huddart, emigrated to Australia in 1854 and had 14 children, one of which was my grandfather, Frederick Arthur Loftus. Apparently Martin and Ellen also had other sons who emigrated to America around the same time as James came to Aust. but I am unable to find any info. on these brothers.If anyone can help me with details of the parents (Martin Loftus and Ellen Dempsey) and their other children I would be very grateful and a family mystery would be solved.
