More handwriting help

BigCon · 2015-05-31 17:21:13

Looking to decipher some handwriting on the attached image. The 15th is the date in question. I did have this up here before but it was a smaller image so hopefully the larger image might help. Thanks. p.s. I'd say there's going to be a lot more of these type of threads after July 8th!

I bow to the superior talents of the other posters in this forum but it looks to me like;

"15th Thomas Moore of Michael and Mary Barron
Patrick Barron and Mary G_____"

Presuming the last two names are the sponsors/godparents.

I can see where the person who transcribed than got those names. Barron and Margt. are ok, the other two words are more difficult,

The P for Patrick is ok, and the 'a' looks split in half, there seems to be two 't's, the first missing the crossbar, and the second followed by a subscript r ?

The double 'r's in the last word are the same type of strokes as the ones in Barron. The second letter might be an 'a' rather than 'e', and J as the first letter is certainly possible or maybe 'G' ? The original transcriber probably worked the J out by comparing to other sightly clearer instances from other examples on the page. - Shanenew's contribution from the earlier thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=92085772

and from Pretzill in the same thread:
To me Margt. Guinet but the Patt looks like Patrick except the end does look like a th rather than a ck.

(Newbie here btw - delighted to find this forum on boards I'm knee deep in research at the moment - so expect questions soon)

Could it be Margaret Guinan? What looks like a T might be a cross sign?
