My 3rd great grandparents were James Hamil and Rose Berry from near Newport, who left Ireland in about 1850 and settled in Scranton PA. There are a lot of Morans in Scranton, as well. I'd suggest you look under Burrishoole parish, which is the RC parish around Newport. Oughaval is where Westport is located.
