My grandmother was a Moriarty and so along with some other Moriarty cousins we are compiling a book that after quite a few years is going to be released in co Kerry. Ireland by the end of this year (2015).
As for Julia Moriarty who married Ralph Cote, i'm sure Maria knows about. Glenn has sent me a copy of her birth certificate and I also have pictures of her and her parents.
We also are tracing more on Patrick John Moriarty and Margaret Ferris. In reference to their birth/baptism. The transcript of their marriage proves their parents. (see previous message). Also it states that Patrick came from Ballinaboula. Dingle. Margaret from Ballyhea. Dingle.
Patrick had 5 siblings (as far as we know)... Juliana b. 1819, James b. 1824, Catherine b. 1827, Daniel b. 1829 & Patrick b. 1832 d.1840. Although it is recorded in some American records that Patrick John was born as late as 1849, we feel he was more likely born in about 1841(still looking for his birth record).
As for Margaret, she is also hard to trace her birth/baptism records. But it looks like she has at least 2 siblings, Ellen b. 1829 & Bartholomew b. 1840. So we feel that Margaret dates may be a bit out as well (still need to prove her birth/baptism).
Hope this is some help.
