Seymour Kemp was born in about 1864 in Middleton Township, Norfolk County, Canada West, the second child and first son of James Abraham and Mary Jane (Sovereen) Kemp.[1] No birth or baptism records have been found.
In the 1871 Census Records for Norfolk County, Ontario, the James Kemp family was enumerated in Windham Township, Norfolk County, Ontario. The household included:[1]
- James Kemp, Age 40, born Ontario, Religion Wesleyan Methodist, Origin English, a Carpenter, married
- Mary J., Age 30, born Ontario, Religion Baptist, Origin German, married
- Sarah C., Age 9, born Ontario, Baptist, attended school
- Seymour, Age 7, born Ontario, Baptist;
- Melvina M., Age 5, born Ontario, Baptist, attended school
- Georgianna, Age 2, born Ontario, Baptist.
Seymour Kemp died in about 1877, at about age 13, probably in Delhi, Norfolk County, Ontario. There is no death record or burial record found for him. He does not appear in the 1881 or 1891 Canada census records. Perhaps Seymour's death year was recalled by his sister, Georgianna (Kemp) Auble and was written down by her in a now-lost record.
