Wesley Graham Montgomery/Frank Montgomery
« on: Wednesday 02 September 09 19:56 BST (UK) »
W G Montgomery b. 1.1.1881 (marine engineer) came to NY on 18th March 1907  with his brother Frank  b. 1876c  (Joiner) on the 'Caledonia'. I am interested in any info regarding their Aunt Jas Graham of 1019 Herkimer St, Brooklyn, NY.

Also WG married a Phoebe (Pheobe?) Florence O'Reilly on 14.5.1914, who was born in Dublin on 21.4.1887. Any info on her family - can't find any record in Dublin census etc only her birthdate.

WG eventually emigrated (after several trips home) in Oct 1920 and became a citizen in 1924. He lost his citizenship when he retired to Belfast again about 1951.

Many thanks

On a 1909 passenger list for the SS Furnessia, it looks like Wesley was joining Mrs. Graham, 262 McDougall St., Brooklyn.

There's a passenger list for the Adriatic arriving New York 15 Oct. 1920, which he & Florence are crossed off from.  They were listed as going to join aunt Mrs. Graham in Brooklyn.  The street address is hard to read, but the street looks like We___ield St.

Aghadowey, I am extremely grateful for all your research, some interesting facts indeed!
 :)
I am just hoping  that I might find someone across the sea who may know about their time in  the USA.

Thank you for your info too,  shellyesq
