Anthony Moran was born in 1887 in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England to Michael Joseph Moran and Sarah Ann Bartlett, their first son and the fourth of their six children.
His father Michael had been born in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, Ireland in 1856 and immigrated to the industrial city of Bradford with his parents and five siblings at some point between 1862 and 1871. In 1871, Michael and his siblings, ranging in age from 10 to 26, except for one, were all employed by a nearby worsted wool factory (Michael's 16-year-old brother, Martin, was a plasterer's apprentice). Having been born in famine-stricken Ireland and raised in England as a child laborer of the Industrial Revolution, Michael was determined to provide a better life for his children. Keeping up appearances was very important to his family and it was stressed that his children speak the "King's English," that they didn't pick up the dialect or slang particular to their region of England.
Anthony's mother Sarah Ann was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire in 1851 to William Bernard Bartlett of London, a pensioner, and his wife Mary of County Tipperary, Ireland, their first of two children and only daughter. William had served in the Royal Navy during the first China/first Opium War for which he was awarded the China Medal on August 4, 1842. Although his pension was generally sufficient for supporting his family, William Bartlett is captured in an 1851 England census working as a ward attendant in the Stanley Royd West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum in Wakefield, one of England's first Victorian institutions for the "insane-poor."
Sarah Ann died in October, 1900, at the age of 49, leaving Michael a widower with four children under the age of 15. In July, 1901, Michael married Alice Ann Goldthorp (1873-1976), daughter of David and Matilda Goldthorp of Huddersfield, Yorkshire. Michael and Alice Ann would go on to have another five children. Michael had a total of eleven children between 1881 and his death in 1915, at the age of 59, which included a ten-year break between the births of Thomas in 1894 and Philip in 1904. Anthony and his siblings grew up in Brighouse, a West Riding town on the River Calder, not far from Leeds and the other aforementioned Yorkshire cities.
Some of Michael's older children never had the chance to meet his younger children and he was thought of as having two families. A musician with plumbing as his day job, Anthony and his older sister Nellie immigrated to Chicago in 1909 and they were joined by their younger brother Joseph in 1910. Anthony can be spotted throughout his life by his use of Brighouse, England as his birthplace, an easily identifiable, although incorrect fact.
Most of Anthony's family is buried in unknown locations throughout the United Kingdom and United States. I hope to find as many family members as I can.
