Moriarity Family in cahirciveen, muingreigh, or Ballanvohir, Co Kerry

I am looking for any and all information on the Moriarty family in any of the above parishes. Specifically Jeremiah Moriarty, born 27 Sept 1853, baptized in the Caherciveen RC church Co Kerry. POssibly married 24 Jan 1874 to Maria Foley in the Ballinanvohir parish. This is my great-garndmother, Ellen Moriarty's family -- I cannot find any specific information on her, but have baptisimal certs and this marriage cert for her brothers. Their parents were Stephen Moriarty and Honora Horgan (sp?).

I have posted before, but have not received any responses of consequence. I have also been searching everything I can find to look for Ellen Moriarty, but, while her brothers have records, there is nothing for her. She died in the USA so her birthdate is on her death certificate. 25 December 1854.

HOpe someone has some information! Thanks a million!

Hi Mary Ellen, I think your Ellen and my John are siblings.  We have John's daughter Bridget (with Bridget Sheehan) being born in Muingreigh or Murreagh in Cahirceveen Parish in 1851.  My GGrandmother, Bridget's sister, was born in Connecticut, where so many from Kerry went to work at the Hayward Rubber Factory.  I also am probably a DNA match to the same GGG Grands you mention  Do you want to take a look at my tree?  Do you have your DNA online?  My email is mauraoconnell@gmail.com.  I can send you an invitation to the tree if you want to send me your email.  Otherwise take a look at M. O'Connell Tree on Ancestry.  I'm maura3000 there.  I'm also on 23andme and fTDNA and gedmatch and so are my cousins, brothers, etc.  I show Murreagh as right next to Waterville and Dennis Moriarty as residing there.  - Hope to hear from you.   Warm regards - Maura

Hi Mary Ellen and Maura, have either of you encountered a Bartholomew Moriarty in your research? Born about 1851 Cahirciveen?  (Married Mary O'Connor) - they were my Grandmother's Maternal Grandparents and migrated to Australia. Wishing you every success in your enquires.

Hi Sonja,  I have one born 1853 and another born 1864 in CT.  See M O'Connell Family Tree or let me send you an invitation if you want to look at the tree - I would need your email.  I don't have any conclusive records for these guys.  Is your DNA on Ancestry or anywhere else?  We can check for a match.  Best,  mauraoconnell@gmail.com.

Hi Maura,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. I'm on fTDNA (Sonja Clancy) - I see we are 4th cousins (remote - Moriarty Cahirciveen).
