Hello,
My first time on RootsChat. I am trying to help a dear friend connect with family in Ireland, hopefully when we visit this September. She comes from the line of John Francis Morrison, son of James and Matilda Kellett. He emigrated to America in 1909, with another brother, William George, who followed in 1911. I have been able to locate the grandchildren of another brother, James Robert, but have not contacted them directly, but through a church in Glenageary.
I see MEW53 may be related, and hope she will respond to this post, along with any others who are from this line, or from Margaret Morrison's, who married James Veighey in 1919. From family notes, I believe their children are William, George, and Ida.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. Rita
Welcome Rita,
My grandparents on my Dad’s side were Margaret Morrison and James Veighey, Margaret’s mother was Matilda Kellett. They had 3 children: William, George and Ida, George was my father.
My father told me many years ago that he had 2 uncles that emigrated before he was born to the USA. I am in contact with a second cousin who’s father was the son of James Robert.
I’m a bit rusty on some of the information these days, but will check my family history book.
