Hi all I'm new to posting to this list, so please bear with me. My G/G/Grandfather Thomas Leggett came to Canada from, I believe Wicklow, Ire in abt 1816. He was born abt 1773 in Ire and died in L'Acadie Qc, Ca 6 Dec 1848. I believe he was married abt 1809 to a Charlotte Smith. She was born in Ire in 1784. When they arrived in Canada, they had children named William, Robert, and Charlotte Francis Leggett. Any help as to their marriage location or exact date, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Jim Leggett
Carla, thank you so much for answering! Here is what I have gathered--a cousin found the names of Bill and Mary Mannering on a Wicklow list--she does not know what it was--it sounds as if perhaps they were witnesses at a marriage there being two sets of names side by side on a list!! My grandfather--James Joseph Mannering--born Co Carlow in 1885--the son of William and Mary Walsh--they had 4 children according to the census--my grandfather--brother Patrick--sister Elizabeth--and one more--I had only known my grandfather and Patrick--I got in touch with Father Whelan at Parochial House in Ballon--he sent me birth and bapstimal records of James, Patrick and Elizabeth--there are no records of William and Mary's marriage or deaths there. I put the info on the Wicklow list in case "someone-somewhere" may have heard of Bill and Mary!!! As to the Mannering vs. Manning--there are quite a few Mannerings in the US and I have been in touch with a couple in Ireland--all of us trying to find our "beginings"!!! Thank you for any insight you may have.
Under the spelling of Mainwaring I can produce a few folk but none under Mannering, I am really going with Paul on this one, the spelling down through Time no doubt has had some very weird spellings. Let me know what you think or if indeed you would like them, be much easier If you told the list the name of the people Christian names ages years etc, then it becomes of an interest to them Cheers Cara
Carole If someone would like to download a copy of the Joseph Holt Memoirs Vol 11, they can just Google the above and read through the links. It is completely easy. The only downside is that there are many blank pages to scroll through before the actual printing starts. Not sure about Vol 1, maybe not available on line. I think I dowloaded in PDF, not sure of that though. regards Paddy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carole Parkes" <carolec55@talktalk.net> To: <irl-wicklow@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 8:53 AM Subject: [IRL-WICKLOW] Manning > Manning was the name of General Joseph Holt's mother-in-law.

Yes Paddy the memoirs Vol 1 are on line too. That is where I read them. In volume 1 General Joseph Holt outlines his immediate family, however in the www.joseph-holt.org website there is a lot of discussion about whether this information is completely accurate or a smokescreen to hide his siblings from the backlash of retribution after 1798. He refers to his father John and his brothers John, Thomas, Joshua, William and Johnathon, also a sister Mary. No baptism records have ever been found of a father John baptising these children. He also says his father John died in 1785. We have however found a father Joseph with children of these names and he died 3/3/1785 and was buried at Castlemacadam, the exact day and place his father John was supposed to have died and be buried. The General's wife was Hestor (Esther) Long, a widow who was originally a Manning. Carole
Manning was the name of General Joseph Holt's mother-in-law. General Joseph Holt b about 1859 in Wicklow was active in the 1798 rebellion of Ireland and left his memoirs in two books. There is a website dedicated to him. Go to www.joseph-holt.org Regards Carole

Actually, Mannering and Manning are two different surnames. The former is sometimes spelt Mainwaring but pronounced Mannering.

Annie, I don't have a home for this fragment No. 5 yet either, but if ever you need to see the fragments I have just ask. We all had thought that the Bradshaw's that came to Co. Tipperary in the 1600's were the first, but that is not true. There was one from around Wicklow that was there in the 1500's.

Annie, You get a Medal of Honor for that mission! Thank you for the long effort and congrats on the success. At least you have a place to plug that information into your own tree as well so I am not feeling too selfish. Now I will try to find Alice in the fragments I have or at least where she might fit one day. Thank you.

Hi Janet; Well you sent me off an a mission!! I've never been able to find a marriage for Richard Charles Harris and Georgina Alice Bradshaw, although the following Canadian censuses suggests they married in Ireland and emigrated in 1887. >From the Canada 1901 census: Harris, Richard, head, mar, dob 7 Apr 1866, age 35, b Ireland Harris, Georgina, wife, mar, dob 17 Mar 1868, age 33, b Ireland Harris, Georgina, dau, dob 5 Jul 1886, age 14, b Ireland Harris, William, son, dob 5 Jan 1889, age 12, b Ontario Harris, Albert, son, dob 1 Apr 1891, age 10, b Ontario Harris, Olivia, dau, dob 9 Sep 1893, age 7, b Ontario Harris, Mabel, dau, dob 25 Jan 1896, age 5, b Ontario Harris, Ruby, dau, dob 21 Apr 1899, age 1, b Ontario >From the Canada 1911 census, 70 Bailey Street, Port Carling: Harris, Richard, head, mar, dob Mar 1875, age 36 [both dob and age are wildly incorrect], b Ireland, year of immigration 1887, Irish origin, Canadian, Anglican Harris, Georgina, wife, mar, dob Mar 1875, age 36 [both dob and age are wildly incorrect], b Ireland, year of immigration 1887, Irish origin, Canadian, Anglican Harris, William, son, dob Jan 1889, age 22, b Ontario Harris, Olivia, dau, dob Sep 1893, age 17, b Ontario Harris, Mabel, dau, dob Jan 1896, age 15, b Ontario Harris, Ruby, dau, dob Apr 1899, age 12, b Ontario Harris, Florence, dau, dob June 1902, age 9. b Ontario However your question got me looking again. I found that on son William Harris's marriage certificate, the mother was named as 'Alice G Bradshaw' so perhaps she preferred to use Alice rather than Georgina. Putting that info into the familysearch.org site, I found a marriage between Alice Bradshaw and Richard Harris in Jul-Sept 1883 in Dublin North. Putting that into the Irish Genealogy site <http://www.irishgenealogy.ie>/, I found the marriage and page image! 22nd September 1883 at the Parish Church of St George, Richard Harris, full age, bachelor, coachman, of 6 Rutland Square, son of Richard Harris, gardiner; and Alice Bradshaw, minor, spinster, of 6 Belview Buildings, James's Street, and Cliff Rathfarnan, daughter of George Bradshaw, coachman. Church of Ireland, married by licence. Witnesses: James Forrest and Benjamin Beatty. No mother' names were given unfortunately. Well that's it I'm off to bed! Annie

A number of Co Wicklow families settled in Port Carling, Ontario, Canada during the 1870s and 1880s.The Masseys and Harrises are from Delgany, the Mahons from Derrylossary. Other members of these families settled elsewhere in Ontario, in the areas of St. Mary’s and London, Ontario. The following transcriptions are for those who we know were born in Co Wicklow. Where the headstones actually note Irish birth, I have submitted the photos to Christina for posting on IGP archives.
