Hello Mayday
Have some more information for you on your Morans.
Patrick Moran was known as "Cossack" and worked for Scattery Battery Coast Brigade He married Margaret Hanrahan. They were both natives of Scattery Island, off the mainland of Kilrush, County Clare. Witness at their wedding were Michael Melican and Tom Moran. They are both buried on Scattery Island the grave number is 38, I may have a photograph in my files, I will take a look for you.
Their children were Catherine 1878, Ellen 1879, James 1868, John 1885, Margaret 1881, Patrick 1874, Stephen 1883 Thomas 1872 and WILLIAM 23/2/1876. As you know William was in the Royal Navy and drowned. He was a water balliff also he joined RFR Chatham in 8/9/07 and re-enrolled in the RN on 4/12/11. He married Johanna Scanlan (annie) who was a dressmaker. After William died she moved to the mainland of kilrush to Cappa. They are both buried on Scattery Island in grave no 42. Annie died on 23/12/1954. William and Annies children were Agnes 1907, when her mother died Agnes moved to Moore St Kilrush. Patrick Moran 1909, Sinney Moran 1912 died 21/08/1944 a Seaman he was lost when HMS Orchis was mined int he English Channe. Thomas MOran 1911 died 1988 he was a soldier who died in England c. 1998. William MOran 1910 he was a Seaman who died in England post WW2.
The final resting place your William MOran 1876 as I said is Scttery Island, plot no 42, his headstone doesnt read William but Sinon MOran, which was a name given to a lot of t of the inhabitants of scattery.
Hope this of of some use to you
