MORAN family from Ballinrobe, Mayo

[mimram]

Thanks.

Where do I need to get the birth certificate from as I have never ordered an Irish one?

I'm hoping that a Moran relative might be able to help with some family knowledge.

There seems to be so little information to go on!

Where does the Ballinrobe clue come from ?
If the location was a little more certain then it would be a safer bet..

The problem is the Moran surname is quite common - over 10,000 on the 1901 census

From the certificates I have the year of birth works out at 1868, and the father's name is Bartley Moran, farmer.

On Familysearch the only Bartley with a father named Bartley seemed to be this one in Ballinrobe.

the father's names are only included in the extracted collection - there's no way to tell father's names for the other Bartly Moran births listed on the BMD index without checking the certs.

sorry to complicate things - there's another possible birth, a bit closer to your possible date of birth, variation in spelling..

  Name: Bartholemy Moran
  Birth date: 13 Sep 1866
  Birthplace: 0157, Castlereagh
  Parents : Bartholemy Moran & Bridget Neenan

Interesting item:
I find only one digital birth record in Mayo that is close to a match.
In Ballinrobe RC parish, a Batty Moran is listed as born in 1865 to Kitty Smith and Batty Moran.
Could be that the error occurs in transcription
Found this on RootsIreland.ie

Hello, I am looking for a John Moran born on July 12, 1829 in Ballinrobe, County Mayo.  He emigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1849 and married Ann Baldwin on August 7, 1854 in Smiths Falls, Ontario.  I know this is a long shot but I'm hoping that someone might know of a relation to John.  Thank you!
