Pam, I had a quick look at brsgenealogy.com. This has your Martin 1831 (you can buy record for 5EUR) but only other Lamoon is Mary Jane 1840 Roscommon. As brs in online version of County Family History Centres its unlikely you will get any result by writing to the county centres. There are of course lots of Lamonds, Lamonts etc and any of these are possible Claremorris is Co. Mayo, but only c. 15miles from Tuam Co.Galway. I would suggest you get map & identify parishes in Claremorris/Tuam region. Check on brsgenealogy to see if these parishes online. Check nli.ie for which parishes records are in National Library Dublin. See http://www.ireland.com/ancestor/browse/records/church/ireland/chrcoi3.htm Contact Representative Church Body re Cof I records. >> I have army record of a George LaMOON and it says he was born Youghall, County Cork, in 1773. I also have the Army record of my GG grandfather who was Benjamin LaMOON who says he was born in Claremorris, the copy is not too good so I may have got this wrong, Galway, Ireland, in 1797. I have been told, family legend, that Benjamin married Bridget BANNISTER at Birr on 1st June 1814. G grandfather, Martin LaMOON, baptised Tuam, Galway in 1831, Church of Ireland.
