McVeigh and Reilly, Belturbet, Cavan

[johal52]

My great aunt, Annie Reilly, born in Belturbet in 1893, married a Francis (Frank) McVeigh in 1919 in Belturbet. Frank was a widower and a tailor. I believe I found his death record in irishgenealogy.ie in 1945--a Frank McVeigh died in Belturbet, a tailor living on Holborn Hill.

But I don't have any other information about him or about Annie. I can't find an Annie McVeigh's death in Cavan on either irishgenealogy.ie or on findmypast. Unless I have missed something. As I know very little about my grandmother's siblings after she left Ireland for Canada in 1906, it would be great if I could find something out.

I don’t know if this is any help but I was told that McVeigh could be a derivative of Veighey.
My Veigheys came from Cavan.

You have posted to the Resources Forum which isn't for search requests so it would be a good idea to ask a moderator to move this to Cavan forum.

As Annie is your grandmother's sister I take it you know about her before she married and it is her later life you are asking about.

It's more difficult to find information less than 100 years due to data protection.
Any children they had are unlikely to have married before the present cut off on Irish Genealogy of 1941.
Annie may have still been alive well after the cut off for deaths of 1966.

You might have a chance with Newspapers or headstones.
