Travelling People / Earthenware dealer Bridget MORAN
« on: Sunday 15 July 12 19:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I was wondering whether anyone knew of a family of earthenware dealers called MORAN. Originally from Ireland, my great grandmother, Bridget MORAN died of TB in Birkenhead in about 1876. I understand the occupation could be typical of gypsy family and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this or had heard of the Moran family in the North West of England or North Wales. Thanks

I have discovered a great grandmother, Bridget Moran- who was the second wife of  my great grandfather Peter McGinn- I think there was also a third wife but I have not discovered her yet. She is listed as an earthenware dealer living in Birkenhead up until about 1876 when she died of TB. I think she was born in Ireland. Anyone else know of earthenware dealers of that name in the Cheshire, Chester, Lancashire, Liverpool, North Wales area? Do you think she could have been from an Irish Traveller family? I am also interested in whether she would have made the pots (my sister is a potter) or bought and sold them. Any thoughts?
