The MANNIN / MANNING Family of Dromdeegy, Dunmanway North, County Cork, Ireland


The MANNING family (sometimes recorded as MANNIN or MANNINGS) lived in the area of Dunmanway North, County Cork. Earliest church records give their location as Droumde*ga (now Dromdeegy), situated 5km north of Dunmanway (see map below), with the head of this family suspected to be Cornelius MANNING & Mary McCARTHY. MANNING families are also recorded in neighbouring townships in the NW quadrant of Dunmanway including Derrynasafagh (recorded as Derinasafa and variants), Cloontiquirk, Coorycullane & Dromleena and may be related (328 baptism & 51 marriages where family members are recorded). Dromdeegy is adjacent to the Derrylahan & Arcahan townships which were the origins of the family according to verbal history.

Cornelius MANNING (born bef 1795) married Mary McCARTHY (born bef 1795) in the Dunmanway area prior to 1810-13 the approximate birth year of their earliest recorded child. Their marriage has not been located. Church records for the family from “Droumde*ga” suggest a number of children, but records are sparse and so incomplete. The following children are known or suspected:

  • Mary MANNING (c1810-13) of “Droumdega” = Denis DONOVAN (bef 1814) of the same place in 1832 Dunmanway. Witnesses: Cornelius MANNING & Timothy DONOVAN. The couple had at least 3 children baptised in Dunmanway;

  • Ellen MANNING (c1815) of “Droumdeega” = Michael DONOVAN of the same place in 1838 Dunmanway, with the same witnesses: Cornelius MANNING & Timothy DONOVAN. The couple had at least 3 children baptised. It is assumed Denis & Michael were brothers (with father Timothy) and that they married MANNING sisters, which supports oral family histories;

  • Juliana MANNING (Jul 1821), baptised d/o Cornelius MANNING & Mary McCARTHY of “Droumdeega”. One sponsor was Mary MANNING, presumably her mother. This daughter is likely to be the marriage recorded in 1850 at Dunmanway as Jude MANNING = Denis CARTHY both of “Droumdega”, witnessed by Denis DONOVAN & Tim McCARTHY. The couple appear to have settled in Togher & Keenrath just SW of Dromdeegy, based on children baptised to Denis & Julia McCARTHY of those townships.
