We have a William Kemp in our Cork Ireland family who was baptized at St. Mary's Shandon Roman Catholic Church in Cork on 26 Feb 1881 and came to the US in 1905. A passenger list entry says that he was in New York city from 1905-1907, went back to Cork for almost a year, then came back to New York in May 1908. Family legend says that he was in the San Francisco earthquake in 1906 and stayed in the US (no location known) after he returned in 1908. He went back to Cork in 1928 to witness the marriage of his brother, Henry John. He probably died between 1937 & 1945. He was a son of William Abraham Kemp and Sarah Daly and his siblings were Mary Ellen (born 1863), Alice (b.1869), Oscar and his twin Isabelle Agnes (b.1871)and Henry John (b.1884).
