Anyone have any idea what the surname that I have circled might be?
I see a y e r. I have no idea what the first letter is..

Without seeing more of the handwriting on the page, and without knowing where and what denomination is involved, it is difficult to speculate.

I do not think it starts with B, as this letter appears in the name to the left. I don't think it is D either, H or K seems more like it. Perhaps there should be another letter hidden in the fold of the page.

spurious

What county is it from? You could check the 1901 census and see if any of the possibilities are more likely than others.

There's a record of a James Moloney baptism here, but I note there have been notes on marriage after & before the entry which I wonder are of interest?

http://i.imgur.com/wy7JzT5.png

The top one looks like "Married Newport February 1921", while the bottom reads "Married <something> <something> 1916". Anyone hazard a guess which entry is associated with James and what the missing words are (if it's that entry)?

P.

I think the notes are under the names as the next entry seems to overlay the notes. It does not appear that there is any additional entry on the James (initial?) Paul Moloney and Louise Wixted

Hermy

The first entry on the left hand page is for the baptism of Mary D??? daughter of Farrell Sheridan and Rose Hannon.
Can anyone tell me what they think Mary's second name is?
Would it be Delia?

Delia is the only name I can think of that would match that spelling (Diliam)

Hermy

Yeah, I can't think of anything else it could be but elsewhere she appears to be referred to as Mary Josephine or Mary Josephine Angel so I wondered could I somehow be misreading Diliam for something else.

Mez1982

I have uploaded the full page, Could it be a mis spelling of Kerr? The parish is Kinnegad.

Hermy

Which entry? Right or left page?

Mez1982

Apologies, It is the 2nd entry on the top left. I have it circled lightly. It is Cath Clancy and the parents are Edward Clancy and Bid ???

Hermy

No my apologies - I hadn't noticed the circle.

Hermy

I'm seeing K-y-e-t which probably doesn't help.

I'd go with Delia also (Deliam) but I think Farrell is incorrect - I think the downstroke is a 'g' and it should be 'Fergal' (Fergalli).....although Fergal/Fergil usually is Virgilus in Latin.

Hermy

I'm reasonably certain based on other info that the father is Farrell Francis Sheridan though I'd agree with you that it looks much more like Fergal in that record. A transcribed record from Ireland, Selections of Catholic Parish Marriages and Banns, 1742-1884 gives his name as Fergallum whereas the marriage notice in The Nation gives his name as Farrell.

Farrell is an anglicised version of Fearghal/Feargal/Fergal.

As for Latin versions, there were almost as many latin spellings/dialects, as there were RC priests using Latin.

Would anyone care to look at the attached register and please tell me what they think are the names of the two men. The marriage is 4th February 1871, its the last one on the right page when you open the link. I would just like to have a second opinion. Thanks.

If you pop down to the next page and look on the left side it is helpful. This is all I can manage: ? James Cooney and Revd. ?? Dronysius O'Brien. Am I
looking at the wrong record?

hblock21

Yes your looking at the wrong record.
Its the 4th Feb. Mcgrath and Mary Kiely . Sponsors Cleary and Bridget Quinlan.

Jellybaby1

Hard to notice that it is actually a record. I'm just wild guessing at it now which is useless to you. On top of that I've no Latin to speak of either! Sorry, giving up.

oceanclub

Another one please!

Looks like residences are "Clonmel Asylum" and "Irishtown Clonmel" respectively?

Fathers' jobs are "Farmer" and "Carpenter"?

The ones I'm having real difficulty with are the witnesses: William Brett and Bridget Leary, perhaps?

Looking for help with the attached note from a baptism register. Thanks.

I'd go with Brett alright, same name as the groom. Agree with the others aswell.

Weird; for the life of me can't think what that could be a nickname or contraction for.
