Phil, poking around on line, I found 4 Morans in the County Monaghan Tithes, the nearest to Carrickmacross being Phill in Aghnamullen in 1829. On familysearch, found an imprisoned Bridget McNulty who said she was born in CMX in 1831, could be kin of yours. Griffith's shows 2 Morants in CMX parish, again might be kin. Unfortunately, church records don't go back far enough to help.

You seem to be a very resourceful lady. Your mention of Monaghan stirred me to look at all of your listing in the hope of seeing the Moran name mentioned. Despite the death certificate of my Great Gandfather showing his place of birth as Carrickmacross in 1829 I have not been able to find any trace of his origins. His name was Francis Moran and in Australia and NZ he was involved in the liquor industry in gold rush areas. Perhaps his Irish family were also. Sharon, can you suggest where I might look ?
