It is true that MacLysaght does not list Manes. Further, the Rep. of Ireland phonebook doesn't have any of that name. (The North of Ireland phonebook is not on-line nor do I have a CD-ROM.) However, there are 3 people called Mains in Dublin and a Mains Hotel in Killarney. Neither are your most likely candidates. The most likely possibility is the skip of a bureaucrat's pen or your ancestor's which caused Manus to become Manes; one simple letter. There are 128 Manus and 652 McManus in the Republic. Other possibilities such as Manis, McManes and Mane are all zero. So, my guess is Manus/McManus. You'll have to find a paper trail. Good Luck!<br>

Happen to have a phonebook for Northern Ireland ! I see there are plenty of McManus and two McMains. I also see the surnames Mann,Mannis and Mones. Hope this may be of some help and good luck in your search.<p><br>
