Sarah Moran.jpg (2.33 MB)

I'm looking for information about my 2nd great grand parents Michael James Moran and Rose Moran (born Needham) who we believe came from County Mayo and quite possibly from Islandeady or the surrounding area. Michael was born about 1822 and Rose about 1825. They and several of their children, including my great grand mother Sarah Moran (born about 1851), immigrated to Australia in the 1860s via England. I'll try to attach a picture of my great grand mother to this post.

Any information at all from the group would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

    The Tithe Applotments (free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/) have 2 Thomas Needhams & 8 Morans in Islandeady in 1833

    As they were R C according to the above records, you may want to try the the National Library of Ireland's R C registers (free at https://registers.nli.ie) as they have Islandeady Marriages 1839 to 1880
