Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Patrick & Catherine McVeigh
« on: Tuesday 08 November 16 20:36 GMT (UK) »
Thanks for all the trouble some people took to help with my research. 
Especially a big thank you to Gaffy!
After the Marriage of Bernard and Jane they moved into Tyronne; Cookstown and Dungannon.
My Mother was born in Dungannon.
I believe that they were Roman Catholic.
Area/Parish wise, not sure really, only what was on Bernard's Marriage information.
No way of really knowing until presented with proof.
Originally I thought his mother was called Sarah, but after reading the additional information on birth records I noticed the word Catherine McVeigh - Grandmother on Bernard's Daughters Saras' birth records.
Also, how do you find a parish to start looking at their records?
I did find that site but found it frustrating that I couldn't search by name and had to input a parish name, of which I wasn't certain nor knew of.
How do you read this information....it looks very faint.
I did sort of make out that it looked like Katherine and not Catherine.
On another birth/marriage record there was mention of a Kitty McVeigh (Katherine?).
Also, How do you know where Bernard was living at his time of marriage?
I have been doing English Genealogy for decades, but only started to get serious with my Irish side a little while ago, so sorry if asking too much..
