McManus

hi.

There are no official Birth or Marriage records for Catholics in Ireland before 1864, they were not registered.

There are older Church records but I doubt they go back before 1835 in Fermanagh.

You don't say where in the US they lived, is this the couples marriage record ??
Name:     Patrick Mcmanus
Spouse's Name:     Anna Reddy
Event Date:     25 Aug 1852
Event Place:     Saint Johns Catholic Church, Keokuk, Lee, Iowa

fyi

As a matter of interest, I was wondering if this is the guy you are trying to trace...

Patrick McManus, Birth 17 Mar 1822 in Enniskillen, Ireland
                            Death 1900 in Keokuk, Iowa, United States

Parents: Unknown

Spouse: Ann Reddy, 1826 – 1922

Children: Edward Patrick McManus, 1857 – 1959

    Katherine McManus, 1860 –

    Thomas Francis McManus, 1862 – 1913

    Mary McManus, 1865 –

    Anna Gertrude McManus, 1868 – 1953

There is a family tree owned by tracyagonsalves on Ancestry with Patrick on it ...

I could send the person a message to see if they want to exchange information on the family.
