Mannington Breen
« on: Friday 11 May 12 11:38 BST (UK) »
hi folks
Have come across a rather unusually named gr.gr.gr.uncle in my research and wonder does anyone know more about him or even the name.

Mannington Breen, b. Churchtown, the Hook, Wexford in 1823 to John and Johanna Breen (Ryan).  All other brothers and sisters had "normal" names (James, Margaret etc.) but this one has stoked my interest ...

Ring any bells with anyone ?

Also, the entire record entry is in Latin so am wondering is 'Mannington' simply a translated entry of a more orthodox Christian name that the priest at the time 'thought' was the equivalent.

cheers  ;D
