Looking for info on John Robert McManus

Hi all, I am looking for information on my great grandfather and great grandmother. I have very little info myself. I have no idea where in Ireland they are from.

My great grandfather was John Robert McManus. Born August 1846. he emigrated to the US in either 1861 or 1865. Different dates on different census in the US. I know he was in the US for the 1870 census. Parents were Laurence McManus and Mary McManus (not sure of first name) He had a brother Frank McManus born 1861 who also emigrated to the US. He is listed as living with John Robert in the 1880 US census. A few records list John Robert as being from Irish Free State.

My great grandmother was Alma or Ann Shepphard. Not sure of spelling. Born August 1852. Mother Margaret Shepphard. Ann emigrated to the US in 1871. Father James Shepphard

thank you for any information you may be able to find. I am at a dead end.

I forgot to mention in my original post.  John Robert and Ann were married in the US not in Ireland.  Sorry I am new at this.
