Research notes

Part of Kilronan Branch 2. Facts below are reported by the 21 September 2026 GEDCOM extract, pending original-source review.

Family relationships

Reported father: James McManus. Reported mother: Catherine Mc Manus.

Siblings listed in the export: William Henry McManus, Patrick McManus, Terence McManus, James McManus, Michael McManus, Eliza McManus, Bridget McManus McEntaggart, Margaret (Maggie) McManus, Cornelius McManus.

Children included in this extract: Frank James McManus, May McManus.

Research notes

The export gives a birth of 1 January 1846; earlier tree/chart material places his birth around 1859–1860. The exact January date needs verification. Norah Agnes Cleve is the partner in this export; earlier material uses Norah O’Shea. Resolve her names and identity with records. Family F2 contains both 1 January 1869 and 14 January 1883, the latter at “St.Josephs Church Eyrie, Buffalo, New York”. The 1869 date conflicts with Norah’s reported 1860 birth. Neither marriage date is treated as verified.

The connection above this branch to the shared R-FT194071 paternal ancestor remains unresolved.

Article and record comparison

The King of Potrero article gives conflicting birth years (1859 and 1850) and a death date of 26 October 1896; the supplied GEDCOM gives 1 January 1846 and 27 October 1896. Norah’s names and dates also differ. Review the cited originals before resolving these differences. See the linked articles below.
