His father, my 5 x great grandfather,was Lott Moylan,his mother Mary (nee Callanan),who was a farmer of land in Creevagh Beg & Leaughcarrow, Quin.

Hi Roslyn:

 

Many thanks for your query to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.  I will do some checking for you and let you know in the next week or so.

P.S.  I have some Moylan relations in my family and I know of someone in the locality who may have more information for you.

Hi Roslyn, 

How have you gone in your search? I'm also interested in Patrick Moylan, Margaret Dalhunty/Delahunty and their parents.

Somewhere I may have pictures of a Moylan farmhouse in ruins taken by a Moylan descendant who visited many years ago.

Hello

I too am looking for information about the family information for Lott Moylan and Mary Callinan.

 

My research (which i have "dug out" from over 12 years ago) told me I am a decendant of James Moylan (1807-15.4.1877) who married Margaret Slattery(1829 - 14.11.1913), they had 8 children, most who died very young.

James and Margaret married in 1852 in Ireland - Her parents were Patrick Slattery and Johanna Taylor.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Clair

Hi Clair:  have you looked at the Clare Library website?  If not you should check out the links that they have for Clooney and Quin parishes.  The link to the website genealogy section is here:  

Clooney:  http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/places/cloney.htm 

Quin:  http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/places/quin_parish.htm 

There is a lot of information in both.  I have Moylans in my family tree as well and there are still descendants in the area with other surnames.  

You can contact me at this email address:  tulla@irelandxo.com.

If you need further help.  

Happy New Year.  

Jane
