Census 1901 https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Mayo/Tumgesh/Carrowliam_More/1601549/
Death certificate for a John Moran (Morain spelling mistake) Swinford RD died 07/12/1916 The spelling of his address 'Carlianmore' is likely 'Carrowliam More'. I think this is probably John above on census.

Birth of Bridget 1911
Thank you so much for this info. We stopped by what we believe to be house 11 in Carrowliam More just 2 weeks ago. I believe someone related to my husband named Anne lives in one of the houses there but she was not home at the time. Would anyone know Anne?
1911 census shows John (son) now married to Bridget and baby Bridget. Young Michael is now 23 years and still living at home
If you have this 'Anne's' full name, you could try writing to her addressing the letter to Carrowliam More, Tumgesh, Killasser, County Mayo. If you are lucky enough to make contact with a relative then well done. You could always ask her if she knows any relatives in the area to pass the details. I have never been to this area so I am not familiar with the location but if there is a post office , pub etc then you could inquire. Sorry, I can not be of assistance.
I am unable to find records for Margaret, Anne and Michael such as marriages, deaths or emigration. I was also unable to locate a death cert for Bridget Moran nee Gildea. If I find any more information then I will post it to you.
I think this is Bridget's death record as she does not show up on the 1901 census and John shows as widowed.
There is also a plot at Killasser Cemetery for John, Michael's brother. Many of John's family members are with him there. But I have not found where his father, John, or mother, Bridget Gildea, are buried.
Families tended to bury their own in the same cemeteries, it could be that John and Bridget are buried there also but the grave may not be marked. Another thing was that when a wife died , her family would bury her with their own family members ie Bridget could be buried in a Gildea grave , this happened particularly when wives died young or in childbirth. My own family had this tradition in that time frame, my Great grandmother was buried with her family, many men remarried after the loss of their wives but your John seemed to devote himself to rearing his children, perhaps he felt the loss of his Bridget greatly.
