I think the fourth col has the surname in  - it looks like Watkin.

Excel, sorry I should have shown the complete entry.  That's is the Christian name, the name in the forth column I need.

Note in margin of baptism seems to suggest Thomas was an adult.   16 Norton Street given as the address.

Redtonyt & Gadget......thank you both.   I'm only transcribing this awkward Register.

Hi Alan,

Ancestry has the original images for St Luke's so any hard to read entries can be compared to the Ancestry transcription. They have baptisms for 1831-1906 and marriages for 1831-1921.
