Hi Lois,
Thank you for your message.
Ennis town is part of Drumcliff:
Searching in the Tithe Applotment Books there were 4 Moriarty?s recorded in the parish-no Daniel however
These are the Moriarty's recorded in the later Griffith?s Valuation:
Have you tried looking at church records for more info? You may be able to find something here:

Another useful website is the Irish TImes where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Drumcliff follow this link:

You should also have a look on the Clare COunty Library genealogy page where they have an excellent county collection, make sure to look in the ?DOnated Materials? section you may be lucky and find something there:
