I am looking for info. on the McVeigh family. my grandfather was Joesph Patrick McVeigh 1880-1956 an his father was Patrick he had two brothers James and John. John died in 1890 and was married to Margaret M. McVeigh. they had 6 kids Kate, Mary A., Margaret T., James M., Alexander, and George. James M. was married to Mary Driscoll and they had some kids, I think. Please help.

HISTORY: Edward Bridget McVeigh came from Ireland and settled in Ohio-Perry county, Pike Township, near New Lexington. Edward died there in 1848. Don't know when they came from Ireland??? or where from in Ireland????, they were Farmers.

I don't belive that our stories fit together. MY grandfather was Richard McVeigh, his father was Joesph Patrick, and Joesphs brother was John. Their father was Patrick and he had two brothers, James and John. They all seem to have lived in New York, around Jamestown area. I know that Joesph Patrick and John were born in jamestown and that their father and his brothers were born in Ireland. Their fathers name was Michael. I have more specifics if you want them but I don't think they go together. Weird though...the, closeness of the names and all but the dates are way off.

My mcveigh family names are Patrick, Bridget Teresa, Bernard Joseph (my grandfather), William (moved to Accrington UK) James Joseph, Nicholas (died in WW1) and Francis. These were all born in Drogheda Co Louth Ireland from 1876 to 1892. These dates are too late for your mcveighs but perhaps their father John McVeigh (married to a Mary Purfield on 7/2/1875) in Drogheda may be a relation of your family. I am new to this so not sure where I am going at the moment

My McVeigh's came to the USA in early 1800's.
Edward was born in Ireland about 1800 and died in Ohio in 1849. His father's name was Patrick. His wife's name was Bridget and they had son's - Joseph Partick, James, Edward and daugther Catherine C., all born in Ohio,USA. I guess they could be related, who know? Do you have anymore information?

Hi there. I have a Bridget McVeigh who was married to my great grandfather James Curran in Drogheda, County Louth. Just wondering of any connection. Any info would be welcome.
