Title: Father's name from Irish RC Baptism Records, 1831-1834
Post by: rlw254 on Friday 02 February 24 05:37 GMT (UK)

Two baptism entries for the same family, having trouble reading the father's name. Any input appreciated. Could it be Terentius (Terence)?

Yes, I would agree but there is a later baptism for another Bridget.
