Montgomery, Milford, Donegal-Completed

[lil growler]

I am new to this ancestry hunting and any expert advise is appreciated. I am looking for any information or advice obtaining, in regards to George Montgomery, born in 1873, Milford, Co Donegal.
His father, George also and mother Mary Mc Elhinney/Mc Helleney. No birth or death dates for the parents. George sr was a farmer. George jr was a masons labourer and crane driver.He married Mary Bett in Strathmigco, Scotland on June 4th 1897 and later they migrated to New Zealand, where I believe they entered in the port of Wellington. I make this assumption based on their child Ronald Glen Montgomery being born in Wellington on 22 October 1916 and that would be my granddad. Im slowly learning about the counties, barony's and provinces and my research is hindered by my lack of knowledge on how to obtain information regarding my relatives. If anyone has the time to help me out I would be so pleased because so far I keep hitting a brick wall. Anyway many thanx in advance.

hello.  read your post. i believe that we may be connected somehow. my great grandmother(on my mother’s side) was jane montgomery daughter of george montgomery and mary mcilhenny They were both Donegal farmers. jane was born in 1862 and emigrated to philadelphia, pa. I have soft information handed down to me from relatives that she had a montgomery relation who emigrated to New Zealand and also that somehow she was somehow  related to field marshal montgomery. beyond that, i don’t have much.

i do have a lot of dna information that i would be happy to share with you.
