The following post on my blog may be of interest: http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.ca/2013/02/the-land-league-hut-at-shortstone.html It tells some of the story of the people involved in farming in the mid-1800s to the end of the century at Shortstone. Also, I have added a significant number of new newspaper transcriptions and other documents, many of which focus on Armagh, Louth & Monaghan. http://www.thesilverbowl.com/misc/whatsnew.htm As always, if there are people who I have yet to learn about, I am all ears.

Thanks Sharon. 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 ?
