McManus/Ferin

[JanW]

Hello, 
I'm researching the McManus and Ferin (Fearon, Feran) families.   My gt. gt. grandmother was Mary Ann Ferin, Fearon or Feran.    I believe she was born in the Omeath area about 1843.   Her husband was James McManus b. abt 1839 and they moved to Liverpool where they had the following children Margaret, Susan, Peter, Elizabeth, Mary Ann (my gt. grandmother b. 1874), Alice, Patrick and James.

I believe I may have found James and Mary Ann's marriage in Newry, Co. Armagh in May, 1864 and the birth of a son Michael in  Dec 1865 in Meigh.   The grooms father is listed as Peter McManus and the bride's father is Peter Ferin.

I have also found a death reference for Michael in Liverpool in 1868.   So they appeared to have moved from Ireland to Liverpool between 1865 and 1868.

If anyone recognises any of these names I would be happy to hear from you.

Multiple posts on various board cause confusion for those trying to help so I've put your request on Ireland-General board.

So sorry, didn't wish to cause any confusion, but as there were possibly three counties involved I posted on each of their boards.

I do apologise.
