This is an entry in the Ontario death records for Norfolk County, Ontario. It is an Original Source with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the deaths of James A. Kemp and Melissa Kemp in Delhi, Norfolk County, Ontario in 1902. James Abraham Kemp (1831-1902) was the son of Abraham and Sarah (Fletcher) Kemp. Melissa (Wilson) Kemp (1840-1902) was the daughter of Alfred and Martha (Pollock) Wilson. Melissa was James' second wife, married in 1876 after his first wife, Mary Jane Sovereen (1840-1874) died.
James Abraham and Mary Jane (Sovereen) Kemp are my second great-grandparents, through my great-grandmother Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952) who married Charles Auble (1849-1916) in 1898.
