McManus and Kearns of North Roscommon

[Michael McManus]

McManus and Kearns of North Roscommon<p>My great great grandfather, James McManus, was born <br>about 1815 in the North Roscommon area of Ireland. <br>I believe he married Elizabeth Kelly there around 1835.<br>Both James and Elizabeth are likely to have died during<br>the famine of 1847 as my great grandfather, <br>John McManus and his brother Thomas, emigrated as young<br>boys to County Durham, England - not with James and <br>Elizabeth but with people who were not their parents. <br>John and Thomas stated in the 1871 Census that they <br>were born in Keadue and Ballyfarnon respectively. John<br>settled in Crook, Co. Durham with his wife, Bridget <br>Kearns. Bridget stated in the 1871 Census that she was<br>born in Roscommon. Her parents were Michael and <br>Elizabeth Kearns, who were born around 1815 in the <br>Roscommon area. In 1869 Bridget left Crook to visit <br>Boyle, North Roscommon, where she gave birth to my <br>great uncle Thomas before returning to Crook. I have <br>been unable to trace other children who may have been <br>born to James and Elizabeth and I will be grateful if <br>anyone can inform me of any appropriate traces they may<br>have.Thank you.<br>
