I found the following records on the Irish Genealogy website, which may be your relatives, even though the dates don't correspond :

The baptism records can be found on Irish Genealogy website, together with marriage records:

There is also a marriage record listed for Maurice and Margaret; their marriage took place in Dingle on 21 February 1827

And interestingly, the two witnesses were James McDonnell and Catherine McDonnell (same surname as Maurice's mother).

I am not a regular contributor to IrelandXO, but happened upon your post, as there is a Moriary from the same era in my husband's family.  Not related, but from the same area.

When researching, I found this website particularly helpful with regard to birth dates and family names:

I was in Dingle just last month, and spent time in Ballyferriter: beautiful part of the country!

Hi td

 

My 2 x Grandparents are Maurice and Margaret Moriarty, Maurice b. 1806 and Margaret b. 1801, Their children Mary and Catherine emigrated to Australia in 1853 as endentured servants. Mary is my G Grandmother. There is also John the oldest son and Jame sthe youngest who also emigrated to New South Wales. If you are still on this website and would like to chat more let me know. It would be wonderful to meet our extended family. I've been searching for years as well. 

All the best
