McMANUS, Cootehill, 1820s: Thomas McMANUS, wife Catharine surname not known; one daughter known: Catharine McMANUS, b. abt 1828 or 1830. Daughter Catharine went to Scotland where she married John SHIELS/SHIELDS (of Co. Derry) in Lanark on 1 May 1855. She later emigrated to Pennsylvania USA abt 1890 and died there in 1904. I have been told that Thomas McMANUS appears in the 1851 UK census for Scotland but have not confirmed it. Other brickwalls include: . McGREEHAN/McGREECHAN and variations (no time frame) . Thomas SLATER, soldier, early 1800s, and son Jackson SLATER, b. abt 1825. I have no origin info on the above 2 names, but it's worth a try. Thanks! Pat in Cleveland, Ohio USA
