Mannix relatives from County Cork
I have a number of letters from a John Mannix who lived in Fredricksburg, VA and Washington D.C. after the civil war.He had a sister, Bridget (b. dec 1833 in Ireland and d. Feb. 1914, Lee Co., MS), a brother Michael who stayed in Ireland, and another brother James who I think stayed in Ireland.I know more about Bridget and can tell from a letter that Michael and James both had families and both worked for the railroad.James was living in Waterford and employed as fireman on one of the engines that ran from Waterford to Cork.He had seven children.They were very close to the Kelly family that had many members move to Lee County, Mississippi.He mentions a Patt Mannix whose sister married a Tom Blake in Limerick.Patt was living in Indiana.As for John himself, he was employed by a sheriff.
He went on a trip in 1873 back to Ireland and arrived in Queenstown.Stayed in Cork 3 days with his brother Michael who was at the Limerick depot.The brother James was running an engine on the same route.So John went from Limerick to Waterford and then to Kilrush and then to Kilkee.Michael had a daughter who was about to marry.
I can't supply more info because I don't know it.Bridget's line is through her husband Joseph Kelly in NE Mississippi.
If you do know more on this line, I have friends who would love to hear it though, so please contact me.
Enjoy!
