Hi Nikki,
I still haven't received a reply from you since I sent you a persoal message but according to my Father this looks like this is a relation.

Any more information would be appreciated.


Many Thanks

Hi hope someone can help me. I am trying to trace a branch of my family tree which I am having absolutely no luck with!!!!
My great-great grandfather was William Veighey, he married in Belfast in 1886 and his fathers name was Andrew Veighey. But I don't know when or where William was born or where Andrew was from and Cavan seems to be the only other place that I can find any mention of Veighey's at this time.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

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

Hi I am going to post what I know in the hopes that someday someone will establish a link to what they know!!!

William Veighey born abt. 1857 married Martha Roberts in Belfast on 27th June 1886. They had 5 children, Robert (born abt. 1891), Jane (born 19th Sep. 1892), Andrew (born abt. 1897), Samuel James (born abt. 1899) and William (born abt. 1901).

William Veighey's father's name is James Veighey and is listed on his son's marriage certificate in 1886 and it says he is a carter?? (possibly)

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
