Hi ros2, Welcome to rootschat and thanks for the information. I wish it was me that was going to Athlone but it will be my sister who is making the trip. I will be giving her all the information to go and check for me. She has no genealogy  research experience so I will have to be carefull not to overload her with things to look for. I have forwaded your comments to my cousin in Sydney who has more of a handle on the Rosscommon side of things.

Courtesy of LeitrimRoscommon.com 1901 Census, this may be your Bridget Keogh McManus: Ardnanure, Parish of Drum - Head of household, Bridget McManus aged 74. Others in household, James aged 30.

Hi ros2,
   You may  be correct. My GG Grandmother Bridget McManus nee Keough was married to Thomas McManus. I don't have a year of marriage. They had eight children, My G Grandmother being one. She was born 1865. She had a younger brother James, I have no birth or death for James so I can't confirm that he was 30 in 1901 but it's sounds about right. Bridget McManus nee Keough died in  1908 and her husband Thomas died in 1881.

So Ros2, You may have pointed my nose in the right direction.

Hi J.J.
 Sorry about my absence. I have been off sick for a couple of weeks.

I have sent a copy of your post to my sister who knows more about the McManus side of things. I just have to Wait till she is not so busy to get the research out of her cupboard.
