Kilraughts Montgomery Mccaughey 1839
Sourced record accounts and possible profile identifications. Names in different events are compared together where compatible; HOLD means that identity or original-record checks remain before creating or merging profiles.
Alexander Montgomery
HOLD — compatible profile linked — The cited Ulster Lees account describes the 1839 groom as a shoemaker, later at Irvine, with a presumed death on 11 August 1850 aged 47. Montgomery-2456, born about 1795 in Tyrone with a sparse GEDCOM biography, and Montgomery-17848, born about 1830 in Antrim and married to Catherine Taylor in 1861, remain weak comparison candidates. Neither provides direct evidence of the 1839 identity. A presumed 1850 death does not prove exclusion of a later-marriage candidate. Montgomery-17848's imported 1830 estimate needs comparison with the original record. The circa 1830 birth on Montgomery-17848 is unsupported and not used alone to exclude the 1839 groom. The 1861 Catherine Taylor marriage does not alone exclude an earlier Jane marriage. Original Scottish records remain required.

William Hay
HOLD — compatible profile linked — Hay-867 represents William of Carrickfergus/Irish Quarter, born about 1808 and married to Elizabeth Walker in 1829. His age is compatible with witness William Hay at Kilraughts in 1839. A different earlier residence and absence of a witness connection do not exclude him. This remains a weak candidate, not proof.
