Title: Michael Moran
Post by: trudi on Wednesday 28 March 07 19:48 BST (UK)

 Looking for Michael Moran  circa 1800   and any Morans he had a son   Laurence and Possibly also another son Michael. I believe he was a Weaver as Laurence  married  Margaret Lynch In Liverpool in 1879 Michael is down as deceased. Any one who knows these Morans would be nice to know..

Hello trudi

What denomination was Michael ? Was he a member of the Catholic faith, the Established Church (Anglicans or Church of Ireland), a Methodist or a Presbyterian?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.
