I am looking for a James Veighey b. 1887 in Dunaweel, Cavan. He later went on to marry Isabella Montgomery who is somehow connected to General Bernard law Montgomery. The link is possibly brother and sister.

Thanks for replying to Jane who was trying to do some research on my behalf.
My Grandfather was callled James Veighey b 1887 from Dunaweel, Killeshandra, Cavan, he was married to Margaret Morrisson. They married in 1919 in a place called Corlespratten (not sure of spelling). I have a copy of the marriage certificate of my grandparents which states that Isabella Montgomery was the mother of James , Isabella was married to James Veighey do not have any dates of birth for Isabella or James, only that my Grandfather James was born in 1887 (the same year as General Montgomery).
My father keeps telling me that his father James (b 1887)was a cousin of General Montgomery. The only information is that Isabella was related to General Montgomery. Isabella was married twice firstly to my great grandfather James Veighey and then after he died she married someone called with the surname Gibson. Photos of 'Monty' - General Montgomery are the image of my Father's brother William James Veighey born around 1920.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Margaret

Hi Paul,
Like you I am not doing very well trying to find any 'Veighey' information.
My Grandfather James Veighey was born in Cavan in 1887 and he was the only son of James Veighey & Isabella Montgomey, unfortunately I do not have any dates of birth for James or Isabella. James who married Isabella had other brothers but I have been unable to find any information about them.
Perhaps your William is a brother of James. One thing I do know is that my father has told me that his father James Veighey had first cousins that lived in Belfast. The name is certainly very unusual, unfortunately the Veighey name has stopped now in my family, I was one of three girls so the family name has not continued and my father's brother William and sister never had any children.
I will talk to my father at the weekend and see if he can throw any light on your William and Andrew.
Happy hunting.
Margaret
