Hi  :)

My Morans of County Clare came from Scattery Island Kilrush County Clare , they were mostly seamen, and river pilots. I have the name Thomas in my charts but he stayed on Scattery Island you could try the Clare Library site which has masses of information that could help you . Also on the site is a book written by Senan Scalan who has photographs of the Moran family on Scattery Island. My family is closely related to the Moran family through the Melican and Brennan families of Scattery.
