My youngest sister is married to a Moriarty whose last 3 generations have lived in Scotland but originated in South-West of Ireland where many of their cousins still reside.
I know of 2 who emigrated to USA but expect some may have gone to Australia, except for the Professor who took to upsetting Sherlock Homes,
cheers, Ian
