Geraghty/Moran

I have a great grandmother by the name of Francis Moran who was born in 1882 and she had a sister who was Katherine moran.There parents are Edward and margaret laughlin Moran.

Hi. Do you know where your great grandmother was born?  It’s interesting that her name was Francis because my Dad, grand dad and great grand dad all were James Francis Garrity. My GGGrandmother Katherine Moran would have been born around 1805-1815.  But it’s possible there is a link.

Frank Moran married Jane Clarke. Their son, Nicholas (1794 – 1868) married Anne Corley (1786 – 1875), whose daughter was Kate Geraghty (nee Moran) (1837 - 1879). She was the wife of Patrick Geraghty (1822 – 1908) and his parents were Michael Geraghty and Anne Geraghty (nee Naughton).

Hi There,

I am also related to Patrick Geraghty (1822-1908)  married to "Kate" Moran, and many of the names mentioned in the correspondence are the same, but others don't quite match up.

My extensive family tree goes back to the 1700's.

But to add some mix to the pot, you might like to refer to the Message Board under "Geraghty from Roscommon", where a researcher,signing in as "Davepat"  covers a great deal of the Geraghty/Moran links, together with all of his research references.

He is communicating with one of my recently found extended family members.

It might help!  

I have also done a Geraghty Family Tree and I am very hapy to share it with you. If you could send your email address to tplaydonmail.com, Ill sendyou a copy. This offer extends, naturally, to anyone who is interested. Terence
