I tried to repoly on Ireland general and couldn’t find

post.
There was a family of O’sheas living in Granard in Arvagh near Killeshandra, Co Cavan.
They were tailors, my father used to get his suits made by them when he lived in Ireland.
Don’t know if this is helpful.

Found the inscription:
There is a tomb in Croghan cemetry Killeshandra (Co Cavan) with the following inscription on it :

"Sacred to the memory of Charles Haughton of Coromahon.  Died 13 May 1870 aged 69 years. 'Mark the upright and behold the just.  For the end of that man is peace.'  Also his wife Elizabeth Haughton.  Died 15th February 1887, aged 79 years.  'Blessed are the dead Which die in the Lord.'"

Elizabeth Haughton's maiden name was Elizabeth Arnold, she had a brother called  Richard Arnold who died ie25.10.1863 and another brother Robert but I have no details about him. The Arnold information came from a 2nd cousin who said that it had been provided by a genealogist many years ago.

KG,
You’ve been very busy on the Kellett family front and I appreciate your information, lots of it was unknown to me.
I have sent a personal message to RCDWE, after looking in my book it looks like the lady she is trying to help is probably a second cousin of mine.

Thanks again.
 

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.

Hi Grace,
Looks like we are 2nd cousins, your Dad was obviously a first cousin of my Mum’s and Willy Veighey was a brother of my Dads.
Happy to connect have sent a personal message.
