Manning in Kilronan, Aran
« on: Thursday 15 December 16 10:44 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information on an Andrew Manning who died in Kilronan in Jan 1894. it says aged 72 retired coastguard, on death register. I'm wondering if an Andrew Manning who was a publican in 1880s in Kilronan is the same person.

Hi,
In Ancestry, the 1894 death, the only other Andrew Manning death record was in Ballinasloe in 1902, so I would say yes.
I looked in the 1901 Census of Ireland he was listed as a Farmer then died in 1902.

Hi

On the Coastguards of Yesteryear site I did some research in response to an enquiry on the Forum for Andrew Manning and below is a copy of my reply that calls into question his age at death:

Phil

Using the CG Establishment Books in ADM 175 I pieced together Andrew Manning CG service record.

Nominated to the CG Service on 29 Sept 1831 at Portsea (RN?), Nom. No 3006. He was originally posted to Birling Gap, but does not look to have taken the appointment, because on 3 Oct 1831 he is at Holywell (175/5 pdf 267).
17 Jan 1832 to North Arran (175/16 - 211)
11 Sept 1839 to Cashleh Bay (175/18 - 198)
9 Oct 1839 to Old Head (175/18 - 226)
10 May 1844 to Rosscolleigh/Mynish (175/19 - 232)
22 March 1850 to Achilbeg (175/19 - 246)
18 Oct 1855 to Kilcummin
29 July 1856 discharged to pension on £18/4/- per annum.

While at Mynish he was issued with a Seamen's Ticket No. 133,952. This has his date of birth as 3 July 1807, Portsmouth. 5' 6'' tall, fair complexion, sandy hair and grey eyes, crucifix on rt arm, first went to sea as a Boy in 1825, served 5 years 5 months in Royal Navy.

Based on the above, there are pension papers held at the National Archives that I am 90% certain are for him; these are in ADM 29/57/23. Unfortunately they cannot be downloaded, but you can order copies online.


This was posted in 2013, since then the pension papers are now available on Ancestry.
