Family and research connections

Research notes

Michael McManus is placed in the family of Thomas McManus and Mary Hopkins by Kevin’s research and the supplied tree. Kevin reports records connecting Michael with a sibling, including living together; the specific co-residence records have not yet been supplied for this source review.

Mary Timms’s 1894 death certificate explicitly names Thomas McManus and Mary Hopkins as her parents. Combining that certificate with evidence establishing Michael as her sibling can support his parentage. The certificate does not name Michael and should not be described as directly recording his parents.

His dates above remain chart-reported. His birth year requires reconciliation with other estimates in the existing obituary article.

Add the sibling and shared-residence records with exact dates, addresses and citations, so the evidence connecting Michael to this family can be followed.

Sources and connected research

Kilronan Branch 4. Site research ID: P-R0011. A candidate reference to the private research export is recorded; facts and relationships still require review.

Cemetery research

Kevin’s clarified notes place Michael in First Calvary (Green Point Avenue), Section 8, Range 65, Plot G, Grave 11, purchased 26 March 1886. Death: 6 December 1894; burial: 8 December 1894. The updated notes report age 60 and birth in 1834, Roscommon, Ireland; the earlier chart reports 1833, so the year still needs reconciliation. This replaces the earlier Section 7 location note. Michael is not assigned to Mary Hopkins’s headstone.

Reported marriage record

The supplied translation of entry 483 at St. Vincent de Paul, New York City, reports marriage to Mary (Maria) Spellman on 24 July 1859, naming his parents as Thomas McManus and Mary Hopkins. It reports age about 28 and native county Longford. The original image has not been reviewed; these details remain reported evidence. See the marriage source review.
