My grandmother, Bridget (or Brigid) Delia Moylan, was born in Curtaun. Her and all her siblings were baptised at the church in Shanaglish.
Her father was Michael Moylan, son of John Moylan and Catherine Forde.
Her mother was Margaret Kearney, daughter of Patrick Kearney and Bridget McMahon (from Co Clare).
If anyone has any links to the Moylans, Kearneys or Fordes of this parish, please get in contact.

Hi de Lourdes,
Yes, I had found my great-grandmother Margaret in the 1901 and 1911 censuses already. I knew that her brother Patrick had married a Mary, but not that she was a Linnane - thanks for that.
I believe the the Moylan family still in Curtaun are my great-uncle James' children. A search of the Irish phone book on http://www.eircomphonebook.ie brought up a result for Seamus Moylan, who is one of James' sons. In fact, I think that is who I will be staying with when I make my first trip over to Ireland with my aunt in the next couple of months.
I am also pretty sure my aunt knows the Roseingrave family too.
Thanks for the information - very much appreciated.
Niall
