Notes for Thomas Henry Kemmis
Probably born in Ireland as no birth record on FreeBMD from 1850 to 1870.
No marriage either.

Jan 2017, TFPL: Originally I had found his second name was Kerry, but from a secondary source.  For the birth of his daughter victoria, it was clear on the scan of the civil record that his second name was Henry, so I have altered my record.
