Author: RAhern980 Surnames: PRINDIVILLE / MANNING Classification: lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.griffin/6513/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My Great Grandmother, Mary Ann Manning, b @ 1844 County Kerry, related to her children, "...we could see the Lakes of Killarney from our home". Her sibling, Cornelius Manning, b County Kerry @ 1834, immigrated to SF, CA, USA, @ 1860 and became a Jesuit Brother in 1867 and d @ 1912, Los Gatos, CA, USA. Brother Cornelius Manning, assisted his cousin, Maurice Prindiville, b @ 1840, County Kerry, and his wife Hannah Sullivan (Prindiville), b @ 1840, County Kerry, to immigrate to San Francisco and then on to San Jose, CA. Jesuit records listed parents of Cornelius Manning as, Michael Manning and Catherine Prindiville. Prindiville Family "folklore" of over 100 years, indicates that Maurice Prindiville was from Castleisland, County Kerry. More family folklore indicates that he married a peasant girl, who lived near the Lakes of Killarney. Because of this marriage, Maurice was purportedly disowned by his family. I am looking for any birth, baptism or death records (including tombstone information) on the families of these individuals. Also, looking for names of Townships 1834-1844 that would have view of the Lakes of Killarney and names of Catholic Churches for those Townships, in order to assist in locating records. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bob Ahern San Jose, CA Graeagle5@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
