Father is Matthew McGuinness, dwelling Baggaw? Labourer.
Mother is Mary McGuinness formerly Brady.
Informant Mary Brian? nurse present at birth. Baggaw? Co Meath.
Not sure of the Baggaw/Boggaw?
-
Could it be this?
"Boggan is in the Electoral Division of Moybolgue, in Civil Parish of Moybolgue, in the Barony of Lower Kells, in the County of Meath"

To throw an alternative into the mix, I think the informant looks like Mary and badly written O'Brian.
-
I think it reads Boggan, Moynalty
-
Abode Boggan. It was written 3 times.
Mother Mary McGinnis, formerly Brady.
Informant "Mary O'Brien, nurse present at birth, her mark, Boggan, Co. Meath.
There's a note at side of page. " clerical error in col. 8 corrected by me PS Duignan, Registrar on 10th Dec. in presence of Mary O'Brien..."
I don't see name of a grandparent. That wouldn't be included unless a grandparent was the informant.

I was reading it as Matthew McGuinness mother's maiden name Boggan. As under her name in same place is her mom's name.
Their home is in cormeen.
Is that not a possibility..Mind in the first column it mentions it again..Wishful thinking on my behalf.
Thanks for all your help.
