Please can you let me know the name of the 2 fathers in the 2nd last row (no. 63) for Christopher Foley and Teresa Flynn?

I'd say William Foley and Henry Flynn.

I'd agree on that, the strange looking letter at the start of the Foley name, is the same as the W in William for the previous marriage

Thanks guys. I was hoping it was "William" as that's what I had on my tree as the father.

Need help in trying to understand what the writing on the right side of this birth registration. The writing isn't particularly difficult to decipher but there are words here and there I am not 100% sure of. There was no father or mother named on this civil birth record.

Thanks All...hope yer all staying safe!!

A portion of it is not present but I think it's to do with the mark of Maryanne Regan and that she has charge of the baby as sworn in a deposition before the presiding justice at a Petty Sessions in Ballyneen (Ballineen) on 5 January 188?. Baby is a foundling.

Thanks Vetch. I believe the child was possibly a nephew to maryannes daughter-in-law. I'll have to look into it further though.

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1869/03390/2242990.pdf

I wanted to find out the mother's (Mary Carey) maiden name. It looks like Clurrd????

I'd think "Clune".

Anyone any clue on this one, it is my great great grandfather Patrick Nash (11 up from bottom)

Looks like he was charged for obstruction but what I am interested in is the sentence, I am thinking it is 7 days of hard labour also not sure what the discharged note is.

Agree with previous poster re fine & costs. But what I cant make out is what he was obstructing - looks like "obstructing papers"???

Yes that is what I thought, my great grans brother was a newsagent so not sure if it was a family business or not.

The usual offence is obstructing the pavement.

I would appreciate thoughts on no. 78 in the attached https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1917/05199/4436461.pdf

I am almost certain (based on location and person present at death) that it is my ancestor but the age is stumping me. It appears to be 61 but that could not be right. I know ages in Censuses, etc can be way off but , given her children whom I know about, an age of 81 would be more realistic. Any views?
