There's a possibility I've found my Montgomery ancester in Drung, Cavan County.  If this William is the right one, I believe he married Frances Matchett.  Their son John (1806-1861?) would be my 4th great gf.  I've only researched matches through Ancestry.  William and Frances do show up, but can't make the connection correctly.  Any advice would be greatly apprecated.

  • Sue,

    Just to be sure...You believe the family tree is like this...

     

    Francis Matchett m. Wm. Montgomery

    /

    Their son John, b. c1806, d. 1861?

     

    Ancestry trees are not always reliable.  What else do you know about the family?  More details would be great.

  • Hi Patricia --

    Yes, I believe my man is William Montgomery (born in Ireland February 1796 - died Drung, County Cavan 25 June 1817

    I believe he was married to Frances Matchett (born 1776 in Ireland -- died 1836, I believe in Drung, County Cavan.

    If I have the right family, their children were:

    James

    Margaret

    Susanna

    William

    John  (possibly my 3rd great grandfather)  He may have emmigrated to Ontario, Canada -- no proof

    Maryanne

    Frances

    Rebecca

    George

    Richard

    I have a feeling I have the right family, but can't prove it. I do have a few DNA matches connected to William and Frances but perhaps those folks are making the same assumptions I am :)

  • I didn't know that the surname Montgomery has such a history, I have always wanted to change mine to Montgomery because I like how it sounds and it is a lot fancier than mine. Plus, I also use it as my nickname when I play online casino games. I am playing on this site https://wolfwinnercasino.com/ for many years as it is very easy to use and I like that it offers a lot of bonuses and payment options. And the most important thing is that it has a fast withdrawal.
