Haven't found Honoria yet but there is a Michael Moroughan and Mary Moroughan Mount Daisey and a Michael Moroughan and Celice Walsh Mount Daisey having children in mid 1860s, at least both women aren't called Mary :D

I think it might be the Michael & Mary link for her parents because one of her daughters marries into the Michael & Cecilia family - GedB

There is something else I am missing here that you might be able to help me with, in the obituary for Honoria it states that she died eight years after the death of her husband Patrick which would make it 1922, I can find nothing in the Castlebar district for his death and with the links to the independence movement I am beginning to wonder if he died elsewhere - GedB

Two Bridget's from this site:

1864 Bridget to Michael MAROUGHAN and Celue WALSH May 13 Mount Daisy

1866Bridget to Michael MOROUGHAN and Mary MOROUGHAN January 11 Mount Daisy

Celia is recorded with her maiden name so is Mary nee Moroughan...?

There seem to be a few Morahans married to Morahans.

Just had a quick look but didn't see him, it could be the period when he died, 1921 1922 was the end of the War of Independence than the Civil War, his death may not have been registered in the confusions of the time.

Rather than scrolling through the parish register I though it should be possible to find her baptism using the free days on Find My Past but I'm still having no luck.

Would 1872 be too late?

No.68 is Anne Moroughan - thinking of Hanoria rather than Honoria  ??? But I can't see a corresponding birth record  :-\
