Looking for information on 2 brothers: Daniel J. and Martin J. Moran/Morran (used Moran in US). Their birthdates wander around but presume 1858-1864, may have been very close in age. Parents: Michael & Mary (Thomas) Morran both b. in Ireland approx. 1828. Other children: William, Mark, Terrance, Mary, Patrick, John, Think both Daniel & Martin married in US after immi. in 1882-1885.
Daniel was a Tailor/Merchant in US. But maybe Iron Worker in Lanark before going to US; Daniel was a Brick Mason in Colorado. Denver/Leadville Colorado was huge mining/gold rush area.
Martin m. in Illinois to Annie (nee MULLANE
) in DEC 1885
had 1 dau, Mary b. 1886 in Illinois and they moved on to Denver/Leadville, Colorado and were there 1890 >>>. Children b. in Colo. Edward, Florence, Walter J, Agnes, Grace.
Mary m. Bernard Campbell.
Found 1 MULLANE Family in Chicago, 1880 : Martin & Catherine b. 1830-1833, immigration prior to 1859.
Daniel J. m. Anne(a) F. (maybe Flynn/Flinn b. 1864 in Ireland, but met Daniel in Scotland?) m. in 1882 but not sure where.
Immi. 1883. All children b. in US after 1883: Mary E. (Davenport), Edward D, Daniel B, Pearle (Chamberlain), Lillian F., Maud, Mable K, Lincoln R, Garnett (King) and Catherine.
Family legend does not include any other MORAN siblings immigrating so maybe, others stayed in Scotland/UK or other.
Though family in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1900 is a possible.
If any of this has possible connection to your family, would love to hear from you.
MANYTHANKS!
Kathy
