Donegal / Re: Craig Family of Carrownaffe, Upper Moville, Donegal

I don't have a reference for the pier house, only through my mother's research and hearsay. Do you know anything more about Robert Montgomery's family--who his father was? I know there was a well know preacher in Moville named Montgomery but I don't know if we are related or not. I was also interested in any information of his wife, Eliza Mcginnis born in 1822? Thanks!

Mary Craig b. 1854 daughter of Robert Craig is my great grandmother on my father’s side. Do you have any other information about her father, Robert Craig? Who were his parents? Have you ever heard anything about this Craig family living in “The Pier House” in Moville? Who did you descend from?
Thanks for any help.
Thanks for any help.

I would be very interested in finding out if there is a Robert Craig b 1817 and his wife Eliza Maginnis Craig list there. Did you put these pictures on Findagrave.com?

« on: Monday 15 July 13 13:17 BST (UK) »Just wanted to say a thank you, for helping with the amazing progress on this family during the past week, especially for Anne Craig; I now have passenger manifests for all 3 of her trips from Ireland to Canada and the US, as well as those for her return visits to Ireland. Also her 1924 passport application which gives her birthdate as Dec 11, 1853 and the 1900,1910,1920, and 1930 US census, and images of her gravemarker as well as her husband's and daughter's. And to top it off, today I found her obit which appeared in the San Jose Evening News of June 25, 1932 which reads in part.Do you have any information about the Montgomery family that lived in Moville, Ireland? James Cousley Montgomery is my greatgrandfather and I am looking for more information about his family. My grandfather was the youngest son to be born when the Montgomery family moved to Boston, MA. James's father's name was Robert and his mother's name was Mary Cousley. Any information you have would be helpful.
"Mrs Britton was born in Ulster, Ireland, December 11, 1851. She died Thusday at her home.... The deceased was married to William Britton in November, 1892, in Ireland and came to Morgan Hill [a town in Santa Clara Co. California and now a suburb of San Jose] in the spring of 1893...... Mrs Britton is survived by an only daughter, Miss Irene Britton R.N. ....
She also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Mary Montgomery of New Jersey, amd Misses Elizabeth Craig and Martha Craig of Ireland."
It is especially good to see the mention of Mary Montgomery as this more or less confirms that I have the right Montgomerys. Mary Craig and James Cousley Montgomery emmigrated to Canada within days of their marriage, had 4 children in Montreal then in 1896 emmigrated to Boston where another child was born. Their childrens' employments took them to New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. After her husband's death in 1921, she moved in with her eldest daughter in East Orange, NJ where she resided until her death in 1934.
