Looking for information on Frances Mann born 1756 who married Christopher Townsend in 1776, died in Cork Ireland ? Her father was Isaac Mann died in 1789 in Cork, Ireland. Her Mother's name
unknown.
Would be most grateful for any information, as Christopher is a relative in the early stages of my Family Tree.

I don't know if this is a coincidence but there was an Isaac Mann who was Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork & Ross and who died Dec 1788. Is this the same Isaac Mann?

To Sonas,
       Thank you for your information I believe this could be the one and same person. Will try and find a few more links to this part of the family.
       Once again many thanks for your reply.

   Hi Sonas,
           Frances Mann was born in Cork, Ireland in 1756 and married Christopher Townsend in Cork.

    Trying to find out who her parents were and also if she had any siblings. Is there any chance you
might be able to get some information on the above.

             Many thanks,

              Kiddo

Hi kiddo1, as I said to you in the pm last week any info I found was a result of googling. You don't sound very sure in your last post that Isaac Mann is Frances's father? Can I suggest that you post what you know for sure and how you know it, and things that you are speculating about. There is an Ancestry  tree that mentions Isaac Mann with daughter Frances (born 1756, Cloyne) who married Christopher. If this isn't yours perhaps contact the tree owner.

In relation to the bishop called Isaac Mann, he didn't become Bishop of Cork until 1772 and seems to have been Archdeacon of Dublin in 1757 so there may be a problem somewhere if Frances Mann was born in Cork in 1756.

This is very early for Irish records.

  Hi Sonas,
         Thank you for your reply. Have used Ancestry and come with that Isaac Mann adopted Frances, Henry & John around  1765 as their parents had died.

          Isaac was the brother of their Father Samuel.
          Frances married Christopher Townsend in 1776
          John married Mary Smyth in 1771
          Henry married Jayne Smyth in 1767.
          They were all married in Cloyne, Ireland. Isaac never married.

          Will continue my search on Mann family but, will take time as I am only a beginner.

          Once again many thanks for your help.

          Regards,

          Kiddo

Hi

Go to www.corkpastandpresent.ie and type Mann (or whatever) into the Search box at the top right hand side of the page and lots of Mann information will appear.

Cheers

    Hi LH,
           Thank you very much for your information on above. It is amazing how far back records go.
Once I finish I'll be going onto Townsend/Robey side. Until you start looking for family you don't realise just how much is involved.

           Once again many thanks for your help

           Regards,

I am a descendant of Frances and Christopher- living in Australia- maiden name Townsend. So exciting - I too would like to go further back with this line of the family. Please keep in touch.
