Hi there

My father was Michael Moriarty, one of Timothy's older brothers. I am delighted to hear from you! I never knew Timothy survived and went on to have a family. Did he stay in Ireland or move away? I never found out much about the other siblings other than two of the sisters moved to London, my father used to visit them in Earls Court I think. Can you tell me some more about Timothy and his life? I have all birth details of the family, all of Timothy's siblings. Great to hear from you.

Hi Sinann and Myluck. Thanks for your help, I didn't see re the 100 year rule regarding the births. Is it possible to find out if the rest of my father's siblings were put into care after their mother died? I am lead to believe that only Patrick and my father were put into St Josephs but I am wondering if more of the younger children also ended up in care. Thanks so much, you are so helpful.

thanks for this info. I am going to search for a birth certificate for the last born boy Timothy Moriarty on 2 April 1918, baptised on 7 April 1918. You have been so helpful, thank you. Another thing, we have confirmation and part records of my father's older brother Patrick being in St Joseph's but only confirmation, no records, that my father was in there. On the paper work it says Patrick and my father were found wandering without adult supervision. The Christian Brothers confirm he was in there but can provide no records, saying they are lost, like wise the minister for education in Dublin. Are there other ways of getting that information?

Hi all. I am trying to find details of my grandmother's death. Her name is Hanora Sullivan and was married to John Moriarty. They lived in Broguemakers Tralee. Her final child was born on 2nd April 1918. By the end of April 1918 she was dead, I know this because my father and an older brother were put into St Joseph's industrial school at the very end of April that year and the record shows the mother as deceased. A small time frame but I can find no death record at all for her. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks.
