Oh, you're all so kind! Thank you, Sarah, Kiltaglassen, and aghadowey!

From what I can gather Margaret Morrison and her husband James Veighey had William, George Robert, and Ida. It looks like MEW53 (Margaret) is George Robert's daughter? She has a picture of her parents posted with her profile.

My friend, Mary, is the granddaughter of one of Margaret Morrison Veighey's brothers, John Francis Morrison, who came to America in 1909.

I'm not sure if MEW53 (Margaret) lives in Ireland or England. I was in touch with another connection through Ancestry today, and she seems to believe the Veigheys all went to England.

On a different note, I came across a Matilda Maud Morrison (born around 1880 in Carrigallen, Leitrim), daughter of Edward and Jane Anne Dale Morrison. She married Samuel Kyle, and they had a daughter, Charlotte. It appears as though they lived in New York City, but traveled quite a bit. Perhaps she is somehow linked to this same family, being named Matilda?

One of my goals here is to try to find relatives that Mary could possibly meet when we travel in September to Ireland.

Thank you again for all of your help! What a nice community this is!

Stay safe and be well. Best wishes, Rita

Hello,
My first time on RootsChat. I am trying to help a dear friend connect with family in Ireland, hopefully when we visit this September. She comes from the line of John Francis Morrison, son of James and Matilda Kellett. He emigrated to America in 1909, with another brother, William George, who followed in 1911. I have been able to locate the grandchildren of another brother, James Robert, but have not contacted them directly, but through a church in Glenageary.
I see MEW53 may be related, and hope she will respond to this post, along with any others who are from this line, or from Margaret Morrison's, who married James Veighey in 1919. From family notes, I believe their children are William, George, and Ida.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. Rita
