Moriarty

Kerry

I am interested in finding the parish of my ancestor Ellen Moriarty.  She was born in approximately 1833 and emmigrated to the States in 1855.  She apparently had a relative Bridget Moriarty because a Bridget Moriarty lived with Ellen at one point.  Bridget may have been born in approximately 1825.

I am appreciative of all information and assistance.  Thank you.

Hi there,

I have taken a look at the 1901 census to see if Bridget Moriarty aged c.80 was still alive and living in Kerry. I found three:

I do not know if any of them are related to your family, but perhaps the locations might help you join some dots. Perhaps you have heard of some of these places while carrying out research.

Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.

Kind regards,
