The name above belongs to the previous entry -  N. O'Riordan, the name of the priest who performed the previous baptism.

The name below is Michael O'Galvey, the name of the priest who performed the baptism for James Glisson.

Good afternoon!

I have read some others of these. But I have no idea where to go.
I have Edith Mary Jenkinson born USA - Noted as a British Subject. She married George Ernest Cecil in England, and so became Edith Mary Cecil.

You don't say when she was noted as a British subject!
Before or after her marriage?
She would have become a British subject automatically on marriage to same.

Looks to me like a junior officer or senior NCO in an Alpini regiment. After the Great war - looks very like WWI service medal on our left.

Probably a second lieutenant in 2nd Alpini Regiment. Possibly senior NCO.

The 2nd Alpini regiment was headquartered in Brà, and recruited from the following areas:
Borgo San Dalmazzo
Val Stura
Monte Argentera
Cuneo
Dronero
Val Maira
Bicocca   
Saluzzo
Val Varaita
Monviso

Might be better to post this query in the Armed Forces section.

Their first son Thomas Machell is baptised 23 December 1830. His father is an Agent and lives on Leeds Street.
Their second son, Thomas Rigby Machell, is baptised 6 February 1831. His father is a Bookkeeper, and lives on Leeds Street.

My first questions: either the first son was born much earlier than December 1830 for the second son to be baptised 7 weeks later. Or were Thomas and Thomas Rigby the same child? If not, can anyone find a burial for a Thomas Machell before February 1831?

My theory:
There was only one son - would not have two children named Thomas. Now one is not supposed to be baptized twice, so what happened? I suspect the parents realized they wanted the child to have a second Christian name, and believed that that required to be given in baptism. So they brought the child back and had a second baptism, with the clergy being unaware of the previous one.

Well I've done a search about this and the earliest car to arrive in Ireland was in 1896 but it was steam powered. The first petrol engine car arrived in 1898.

So if my ancestor was a 'car owner' in 1885 it can't have been a petrol engine car. I'm happy to assume that he was a cart owner, either for transporting and selling goods or perhaps it was a Jaunting Car.

A cargo carrying cart was not what was commonly called a car. Cars were for people, just as today. You will see advertisements in the papers for regular scheduled cars between towns in the 1800s.
Don't fixate on jaunting cars - cars were of different types, just as there are many types of modern car.
