My g-g-grandfather ( Joseph Kemp born in England) died in the 1889 rockslide in Quebec City. ?Would anyone have information about him. His wife's name was Mary, she was born in Ireland. ?He had a son William Joseph, and a daughter Kate according to the 1881 census in Quebec. There were only two (Kemp) survivors of the rockslide. ?My g-grandfather (William Joseph) and his brother, name unknown. They were born in Quebec. Any information would be helpful!

Thank you,
