Molly and Thady's Children: Michael Manning, b 16th Sept 1906 died 1960(?)


Thanks to my mother's cousin John Burke we know that the poor soul spent most of his life being cared for by the State because of his mental condition.  Apparently he was 18 years of age when something occurred to cause him to lose his memory.  John Burke's mother used to visit 'Mike' each week in Our Lady's Hospital in Ennis and John describes him as having a condition like Alzheimers but from a young age.  

John believes that this is Mike above to the left of the photo and that he was buried in Kilrush around the age of 60.
