I have not much information other than:
Joseph Manning B around 1798 married a lady called Dorinda in Galway (we believe Ahascragh). He worked as a Clerk before joining the EICA in 1819 and was posted out to Bombay, India. Dorinda died shortly after arrival. They had a young child called Joseph. Joseph himself died in 1826 in Bombay.
We don't know about his family at all but am aware that there was a Thomas and Michael Manning in Ahascragh around the time (perhaps Siblings?). Nor do we know Dorinda's family.

Have you or any of your family done a DNA test ?
Sometimes the name Mannion which is common in the area is written Manning due to colonial mishearing of the original sound
If you have done a DNA test I admin the East Galway Ancestor Project on gedmatch as well as the Mannion DNA Project

Hello
Thank you for message. Yes, I have done 2 x DNA tests (one on Ancestry and the other 23andme).There are many matches on DNA but I have not searched through Ancestor DNA matches properly. Although I don't understand the GEDMATCH thing yet, I have uploaded simplified smaller tree and DNA for Ancestry to that. I am happy to provide my details privately. I would love to find out more. Thank you.
Hello again
Sorry, not clear when I mean many matches that is DNA matches generally, I have not searched specific names as such as yet. I realise you greeted in Gailege and I read about Galway and speaking of Gailege in the County and wondered whether my Ancestors would have spoken Gailege or English if joined EIC (or both)? I have learned my first Gailege today by googling your greeting! Thank you.
