Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The 1901 census for Moat townland in Kilbeg civil parish does not show any Carolan or Muldoon families.
The 1854 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilbeg civil parish does list a Matthew Carolan in Moat townland but no Muldoon head of households are shown.
I also located an 1828 Tithe record for Moat which listed a Bryan Carolan.

Let us know what additional info you have/need.

Thank you for the information ,I’m mystified that I cannot find them because they are there in the 1911 census in the town land of Moat. I was over last week from England trying to find the Moat itself no luck it was a miserable day raining no in the local farms all the Carolans are dead ,so I can’t ask them.

Hi Cassidy, I'm not sure if this is any help at all, but I have a few Carolans on my Ancestry Tree. Jane Carolan married James Bellew (1795-1876) who was the brother of my GGG Grandfather Christopher Bellew. Jane and James had a daughter Alicia (Alice) Bellew (1830-1887). All were born Nobber and Cruisetown, Louth. After James died, Jane remarried Peter Carlin(1803-1871), who was also from the same area. Jane and Peter were living in England when their daughter Ann Carlin was born in Wigan, Lancashire.

p.s. I would treat the information regarding remarriage with a degree of caution as it appears that James Bellew was still alive when Ann Carling was born. I'm sorry that this is so sketchy, but thought it might give you a lead

Catherine Carolan Moate married Charles Cassidy on 26/04/1922 in Kilbeg Church
They moved to Moyaughter outside Kells , Catherines father was Matthew Carolan per irishgenealogy.ie
There are no Carolan family living in Moate which is part of Kilbeg Parish

Hi Marie,
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I don't appear to have Catherine or her father Mathew on my Ancestry tree. Could you please let me know who Mathew's parents were?
Kind regards.

Hello Lyho47
Sorry I do not know who Matthew Carolan parents are, The only reason I know that Catherine Carolan married Charles Cassidy on 26/04/1922 per irishgenealogy.ie
is because Charles Cassidy was my grandfathers brother, Francis Cassidy who lives in UK and on facebook, a grandson of Catherine and Charles Cassidy might know
the Carolan side of the family
