Hi Welsh Lady.
I know it's a long time since you posted a request for information on Hugh and Betty Manning however I've only just found it. Hugh Manning was my great, great, great grandfather and I've carried out some research, I've even got a copy of his will. If you have some info on him or the family I would be grateful to hear.

Hi Welsh Lady
Thank you for your reply regarding the Manning's from West Down. I have visited the village on a number of occasions and have established a line to myself essentially from Hugh's father John, who was born there around 1755. I also have some less verified ancestors going well back in that area. During my investigations I have come across a Richard and Sarah Manning. Richard was born in West Down but in the 1891 census was living in Llanelli. Perhaps these are your ancestors. Anyway I am still new to this site so I presume that if I post a few more requests, we can contact and swap info.

Hiya my ex mother in laws direct  line that is verified is Hugh Manning then son John born 30th july 1797 westdown his son James born 1840 then his dau Fanny b1866 westdown.Fanny eloped to Swansea and married Thomas Henry Bull from Broadclyst devon .Their youngest dau Violet was my ma in laws mum.Fannys uncles had moved to Swansea to.There was a Ferry from Barnstaple to Swansea lots of people coming for work.Fanny and Thomas lived in Hackney London before coming back to Wales sadly they died when Violet was very young.She was fostered then in service.And the youngerboys went into barnado homes.Fanny and Thomas had 16 children but by 1911 only 7 were living.Yes post a few times and I can send you a pm with my email and we can swap more info then .Did you find Hughs baptism in West down as the 1841 census said he wasnt born in county guess that was an error
Thanks

Hi Welsh Lady
Fanny was my grandfather, Fred Manning's sister and in 1891 she was living in Dean Cottage, near Ilfracombe (I've actually visited the cottage) with James Manning (her father) together with her two daughters Rose and Polly and son Alfred?
Fred was to move to Barry in 1896 and later to Aberdare where he started a very successful transport business which was to remain in operation for nearly 100 years
