https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Kilturra_Civil_Parish,_County_Mayo_Genealogy Want to know if anyone knows of the girl on line 3 Bridget Mannion. 
I understand that the story is she became a nun when her parents died and all her brothers moved to the USA
By the look of the 1911 census, she took care of my grandfathers kids, who had returned to Eire from NYC.  Her uncle might be the John Mannion on the Rock of Doocastle.
I looked up Sisters of Mary and any other options when I was in Dublin.  She might have been in Tuam but I just don't know.  I know of all the brothers that came here

Thanks Conahy,   That is my GGF...in fact, the grand kids listed are my GF's kids from his first marriage, sent home after the 1st wife died.  They ret to NYC by the 1920 US census since he remarried.  I'll check the archives site.  I'll be in Dublin In August; I'll check out the Nat'l Library on Kildare St.  I get to Dublin frequently, as my spouse is from there.  We married in Bray in the 1970's!  I've been out West, climbed Crough Patrick, didn't realize then how close I was to my roots!  A lot of this great info like the census wasn't up yet.

Hi D-G,
So excited to see a reply!  You are correct, it is Bridget, that is the correct family.  Family history is that all of Bartly's children went to NYC, with the exception of daughter Bridget, who reportedly became a nun. (having trouble finding that).  He had 2 other sons, Bartly and  Thomas (my GF) who missed the 1901 census, as they came to NYC, late 1890's.  In fact, the grandchildren, listed as birthplace NYC, were his kids from a first marriage, wife deceased, childbirth.  They show up again on the 1920 US census, as living with him and his second wife in NYC.  Upon my dad's death in 1971, my aunt, listed as Mary Anne, provided a complete schematic of each of Bartly's kids, who they married and their kids...but I never knew of any grandparents until now, thanks to 1901, 1911.  I still have all of the info.  Hope this is a help to you.
