Title: First name for Bryan - COMPLETED - with thanks
Post by: gordonmcmullan on Sunday 29 April 12 10:26 BST (UK)

Could anyone help decipher this first name, and occupation.

He was the father of a Norah Bryan, who married a John Clery in Dublin August 1915

TIA

Hi gordon
It looks to me like Sylvester, and occupation labourer

Thanks both, after you mention it it's obvious... but unexpected, first Sylvester I've found in  my tree. The occupation's a surprise as I presumed they were well off by Dublin standards of the time from where Nora and her sister were living in 1911, I assume both parents were deceased by this time.
