Where is Manus

I think this is Manus....... Manus more
Manusmore Townland, Co. Clare (townlands.ie)

If you are ever looking again, on the record look where the area ..... Ennis.....this is the registration district so it has to be somewhere near the town of Ennis.
Then search...........townland in Ennis and drill through the list.

Then to find a Parish   look at the townland map then pinpoint the Parish in here.

Helen,

To add to the Post by Margot, I attach detail of the townland of Manus which is on the Ennis to Limerick Road.

Helen,

I wasn't sure what information was on the death certificate. I found this record on RootsIreland (subscription).

Helen,

Here's a link to the register page showing Michael's death. It gives the cause of death and shows that Catherine signed with "her mark."

Helen,

The Tithe Applotment Records - 1826 - 1842 records Manus Beg and Manus More in the parish of Clareabbey. It is now known as Clarecastle/Ballyea.

Griffith's Valuations c1850 - printed 1855 - does not have a record of Manus Beg. It does have Manusmore which it records in the parish of Clareabbey.

I attach copies of the records. No record of a Quinlivan in either. To be registered a person had to have an interest in property. The 1901 Irish census does not have a record of any Quinlivan, so apparently no family members remained in the townland.

Regards,

Many thanks to you all. I will research Manusmore. According to one history article the locals would refer to it as Manus 

Hi Helen,

Are you sure Manus's wife was Catherine?

The death record indicates Catherine Quinliven witnessed his death, but it does not say she was his wife. Could have been a daughter or sister.  So I'm just double-checking  with you.

Yes I have documentation that Catherine immigrated with her youngest son to Wellington NZ to join her daughters.
