Hi Linda,

Thanks for that.  Mary Georgina McVeety was the daughter of William (b1820 in Carlow, brother of George & Isabella) & his wife Mary Woods.  William & Mary with daughters Mary Georgina & Margaret emigrated to Australia in 1861.  Mary Georgina (b1850 in Manchester) married Andrew Templeton at Rockhampton (Queensland) in 1870 & she died in child birth in 1881 (buried at Charters Towers near Cairns, with headstone).  There is another claim for the naming of at least one of the three rivers (by a local Queensland governor, after his daughter) but for me the three names (not least Templeton) seem too much of a coincidence.  So it`ll do for me!

regards,

John

Hi Linda,

Glad the info was of some help.  In my records I have 8 children of Catherine & Charles Bowden (William Henry, Maggie, Emily, Elsie, Charles, George, Leslie, Arthur) who am I missing? Not surprisingly being Ireland I have come to a dead end in trying to find any info there as regards our McVeety origin.  Just that my 3x great grand parents were William McVeety (b1792 in Donegal) & Elizabeth (or Isabella) Spencer (b1801 in Ireland).  Do you know the story about Mary Georgina McVeety who emigrated to Australia, married a Scot named Andrew Templeton, a gold prospector & something of an explorer who supposedly discovered 3 rivers in Queensland & named them after her, following her death giving birth to twins?  The rivers - "Mary", "Georgina" & "Templeton".

regards,

John

Hi Linda,

Just posted a reply to you.  In my haste I forgot to put my name, sorry it`s John.  George McVeety`s parents were William McVeety (bC1792 in Donegal) & Elizabeth (or Isabella) Spencer.  My 2x great-grandmother was Isabella McVeety (bC1830 in Galway) & she married Andrew Diley at Manchester Cathedral in 1856.  Hope this helps.

regards,

John

My ancestor was William McVeety (bC1792 in Donegal) who married Elizabeth (also referred to as Isabella) Spencer.  They left Ireland to settle in Ancoats (Manchester) some time between 1836 & 1841.  According to census records their children (including Isabella, my 2x great-grandmother) were born in widely scattered places such as Carlow, Galway & Roscommon.  Does anyone have any info on William in Ireland before he came to Manchester?  One suggestion is that he came from Inishmacsaint.  His wife Elizabeth Spencer may have come from Drumholm (Donegal).  Also any suggestions as regards his occupation/lifestyle suggested by the family`s frequent re-location in Ireland between 1820 & 1836?
