Many thanks

Looks like Henry Walsh -- Interpreter ?. Mary Adam's fathers name might be Thomas . Regards Orkrad

If you could take a snip at what you are looking at, and post it, it would make it easier for those who cannot access the link! :D ;)
Would like to help if I could . . . . . :)

Ditto.
It's always a good idea to post an image, or a snipping of an image, rather than a link, as there may be people who would be able to help, who cannot access the link for whatever reason.

There you go.
I think Thomas but not sure of Henry's occupation. Maybe Interpreter?

Thanks Maggie.
Can you find the other bit the OP wanted?
'Mary Adams fathers name'.
Though it's a good idea to include some of the other text to compare letter formation etc.

It's there on the snippet. I think it says Mary Adam's father was THOMAS, Occupation TURNER It's below Henry Walsh's name, whose occupation (I think) may be INTERPRETER, but unsure... I've added another snippet. Henry's son was a Tailor, so unless there's a word similar to Interpreter in the tailoring business, he didn't follow his father's profession.

Sorry, didn’t glean that was him from the first little clip!
Although it doesn’t look like ‘Thomas’ at first glance, I think you’re right.
Having seen the ‘T’ at the start of ‘Tailor’ and Turner’, it does semm to start with a capital ‘T’, then you can just about make out the rest of the letters for ‘Thomas’.
Yes, possibly ‘Interpreter’.......
-
I wonder if an 'Interpreter' in those days was one who interpreted patterns/drawings/sketches? That could put him closer in work to father maybe. Just a thought. :-\
Just looking at old occupations and can't find Interpreter, though that is certainly what it looks like doesn't it. :-\

Did Henry Walsh have any other children who married? Perhaps his occupation might be clearer on those records?

Why can't you access it?
-
Says I have to log into something which I don't wish to do! ;)

It's the free Irish Government website, entirely safe.

Your not even registering with them, just proving your not a robot and sign in, initials will do, it cover the legal requirement to apply to get a cert.

It does say interpreter, but whether it had a different meaning in those days is an interesting question.

1880s Ireland ... I wonder if someone was needed to interpret the spoken words of the general population into English ....
Add .... Absentee Landlords issues ...

Sorry, don’t know about any other children at the moment. I too thought the name was Thomas but no idea with the occupation. Thanks for everyone’s help
-
A death record for Henry's son perhaps? I know some countries record the name and occupation of the father.

Is this John in 1901 born London

birth of daughter Catherine 1890
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1890/02410/1898567.pdf
If that is correct than is it known if Henry was living in Ireland of England at the time of his son's marriage.

Yes that’s his daughter Catherine. I don’t know if Henry was living in Ireland.
