My great grandmother was Ellen Moriarty of Caherciveen.  She was born probably between 1850-1870 in Caherciveen, Co Kerry where  I have found her sibling's baptismal records in the Daniel O'Connell Church.  However I cannot find hers.  Also she was married to Peter Kelly also of Ireland, but I have absolutely no information about him.  They emigrated to Boston in the 1870s. Her parents names were Stephen Moriarty and Honora Harrigan Moriarty.

Any information most welcome!

Go raibh maith agat!

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I looked on www.irishgenealogy.ie and did not find the record for Ellen. The only sibling I located was Stephen baptized in 1860. My only suggestion is to scan the parish register for Cahersiveen  http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0658  and see i you can locate the record. Possibly she was baptized before 1846 when records start for that parish.
