We (Barbara Eckbreth) found the well cared for Cathedral Cemetery Wilimington, DE) where your great-grandparents James and Helen (Ellen) McVey are buried but concluded that there are no gravestones. The office at the cemetery confirmed the location of the graves in the particular plot noted as their burial place but it is all grass. We know also that James and Helen's son James Joseph and his wife Bridget are buried in the same plot. James was a brother of your grandfather John Joseph McVey. We still do not know where your grandfather is buried. There is one John McVey and two John J. McVeys buried at Cathedral Cemetery. Although there are John J. and Mary McVeys buried there in various locations, I cannot conclude that any two are your grandparents. Plot is loacted at Section 4A, NE Corner , No Gravestone.

Address given as 1 E. Front Street, Wilmington in the burial records. The Zip is 19805 and Front Strret is now Martin Luther King Blvd anmd is an extensiopn of Lancaster Ave (SR 48). The location is 5 blocks from that given for wife Ellen.
