alliekiwi Posted 19 February , 2008 Share Posted 19 February , 2008 You can read part of an article about him here (although you have to pay if you want to read the entire thing). It says Catholic, and even says which church he attended Mass in. Seems to have lots of sources cited, so could be taken as a bit more factual then things such as wiki!

gothic69 Posted 19 February , 2008 Share Posted 19 February , 2008 What is his actual lineage? some sites claim different things-pure irish, anglo-irish, anglo-scottish and born in either Dublin or Aldershot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 19 February , 2008 Share Posted 19 February , 2008 The Ace with one eye doesn't actually say whether Mannock senior was Irish or not, nor does it actually give his name... According to the book: "Corporal Mannock", son of a Fleet Street newspaper editor, 2nd Inniskilling Dragoons, enlisted as Corringhame (his mothers maiden name) met Julia O'Sullivan in Cork. Edward was born on 24-5-1887 at Preston Cavalry Barracks, Brighton, but grew up in India. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Grundy Posted 19 February , 2008 Share Posted 19 February , 2008 "'Mick'. The Story of Major Edward Mannock, V.C., D.S.O., M.C., R.F.C., R.A.F." by James M. Dudgeon states that his father was also Edward Mannock, a corporal in the Royal Scots Greys, who met his wife, Julia, whilst serving in Ballincollig near Cork. According to the author, Edward Mannock snr., had enlisted under the name of Corringhame (his mother's maiden name), to escape from an unspecified scandal in England. As Steve has already reported, his father was a Fleet Street editor. Dudgeon states that George Mannock, Edward senior's uncle, was a friend of the royal family, having taught the Prince of Wales to play billiards. An Anglo-Irishman by the looks of it from a well-connected family but from a branch that had 'fallen from grace'. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
