I have been doing some research on the "Carswell" family name and I have come across a Sarah Veighey born 1854 who married a Henry Carswell in Belfast in 1879     They had three children Henry 1883, Lizzie 1885 and John 1890. John is my Grandfather.

Sarah Carswell nee Veighey lived in west Belfast in North Queen Place. She had a brother William born 1856  who married Martha Roberts, William having lived in North Queen Place before being married. His father on his marrage cert is James Veighey a carter this confirms the relationship of brother and sister to Sarah as James is the father to both Sarah and William. Martha father is Samuel Roberts and they lived in 3 Cullingtree Place. 

Since this is an old thread I will try and send a PM to all on the thread so far.     Sure what else would do to help cousins!!!

I am interested in trying to get James Veighey's wifes name. 

Nearly all the Veighey's in the 1911 census (of acertain age that is) are from Armagh but ironically there are no Veighey's in Armagh at that time

Kind regards

Hi Des,

Welcome to Rootshat.
I have not had any information from anyone for ages on this thread, I did get asked for some information from a couple of people on this thread who had links with my family but unfortunately I haven't heard anymore from them.

My grandfather James Veighey was born in 1887, (he married Margaret Morrison) he was an only child his father was also called James and he married Isabella Montgomery.
According to my father his grandfather had 3 brothers and they all worked for the gentry one of them went to work in Redhills, Southern Ireland, think he may have been called John. Another brother went to work in Co Meath, S Ireland and another brother went to Belfast,( he had a son called Jack and another one called Herbie).
I do not have any dates of birth or death  for James (who married Isabella Montgomery), all I know is that on the 1911 free Irish Census that he had died prior to that as Isabella had remarried John William Gibson and my grandfather James was 24 on the census.
Don't know if this is of any help to you.

Margaret
