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: Frank McManus. Reported mother: Norah Agnes Cleve.
Siblings listed in the export: May McManus.
Research notes
The export reports 28 October 1883; earlier chart material gives 1886. Catherine Maltida Nelson (spelling as exported) is the reported spouse, with no marriage date. Their children are beyond this three-generation import. This historical Frank James (died 1959) must not be confused with the living Branch 2 DNA tester.
The connection above this branch to the shared R-FT194071 paternal ancestor remains unresolved.
Obituary, 27 December 1959
Read the obituary image and corrected transcription. It names wife Catherine, children Frances Ayoob, Dorothy A. Keays and Allen McManus, five grandchildren and three children-in-law. It announces an Oakland interment following a Monday funeral. The phrase “in this city” points to San Francisco as the death place, conflicting with Alameda County in the GEDCOM. Telephone Pioneers membership is reported; no employer is named.
Additional probate and register evidence
The pleading identifies Frank J. as the only issue of deceased brother Frank. The register’s J. Frank entry gives age 76 and interment 28 December 1959, a candidate match to this profile. See the estate pleading and the register reading for source limitations.
