What remains unknown
The extract supplies no dates, spouse or residence for Manus. His identity has not been matched to another Manus O’Connor; the shared name alone does not establish that connection.
The date 22 February 1774 belongs to the nobility claim discussed in the archive, not necessarily this person’s lifetime. Philip McManus questioned parts of the pedigree, particularly its attempt to connect different McManus branches.
