Renfrewshire / Re: Manners family Greenock
« on: Monday 06 June 05 08:36 BST (UK) »
Sorry but I have no idea what the HD stands for.I think the HM stood for Head,Married.
My own gggrandparent came from Ireland to Greenock, they were protestant with the name McQuillan but some married in Greenock in the Roman Catholic Church which gave their recorded names as Williamson.
Everyone said..was'nt the same people..but I paid a professional genealogist from the Edin. to look into it.
It turned out it was indeed my family.
It seems in Greenock at the time if the priest was Irish he would revert the name back to its Irish origin.
Just looked in the Oxford Names Companion:
Manners: English (Norman) habitation from Mesnieres in Seine-Maritime, recorded in the 13th century. as Maneria, a deriv. of L manere, to remain, abide, reside. See also Menzies.
Manulus is not recorded in this companion.

Hi,
I have a relative who lived at 75 Dempster Street, his name was Hughes. Notice you are also doing that name search.
Will ask him if he remembers anything.
My Hughes line is JOhn Hughes married to Mary Irving and James Hughes married to Ann Rome.
both Dumfries moving into Greenock in the early 1880's.
wonder if you are linked?

Renfrewshire / Re: Manners family Greenock

I just looked at the Renfrewshire Greenock Parish 1841 Census.
There are no Manners...but I think maybe this could be them.
As this JOhn is born in Ireland, could be the name changed.
And he is the only one of the page with JOhn - Catherine combination.
Volume 23. Page 3.
Address: Harvey Lane, ST.Thomas, Greenock.
Name: MANALUS.
John. HD. age 30. Labourer. Born Ireland.
Catherine. HM Age 25. Born Ireland.
Samuel. HD. Age 25. Labourer. Born Ireland.
Catherine. HM Age 20. Born Ireland.
JOhn. HM. Age 6. Born RFW
Henry HM AGe 3. Born RFW
John HM AGe 2. Born RFW
Nancy HM Age 1. Born RFW.
Susanna HM Age 1. Born RFW
Agnes HM Age 20. IND. Born IReland.
Don't know what the Ind. stands for in occupation.
I also know that when the Irish came to Greenock their names were Anglicized.
Maybe it would be worth your while emailing Watt Library ..Greenock for the rest of the census. They are very
helpful...just state you are from abroad...gets done quicker.
