Looking for Mannion Relatives
Hi, My grandmother was Margaret Mary Mannion from Co. Galway, Ireland. Her parents were Thomas Mannion and Mary Walsh. I found Thomas Mannion listed in Griffiths Valuation for Cloughbrack Lower with a Martin Mannion. I found a marriage record for Thomas Mannionand Mary Walsh in 1876. I also found Thomas Mannion in the 1901 and 1911 census for Cloughbrack Upper, Cloonbur, Galway. In the 1901 census Kate Walsh is listed as niece to head of house. I believe this to be my family. My grandmother's brothers were Martin, Michael, Thomas and John. She had sisters Bridget and Barbara and I think two others.
My grandmother immigrated to the US in July 1908 with her cousin Kate.I have purchased the ships manifests for Margaret and Kate from Ellis Island, NY, USA.
I recently found a Bridget Mannion immegration record at Ellis Island web site for Oct. 1908 where she says she was from Moylough and meeting her sister Margaret Mannion in Brooklyn, NY. Is there anyway I can find out if this Bridget is my grandmother's sister?
Also my two sisters and I are visiting Ireland this Sept. and are planning to visit Co. Galway. Wewould like to see where our grandmother was from andalso wouldlike to find out if we have any living relatives in the area.
Kindest Regards,
Mary Clifford Cobb
