Help please with a baptism entry 1891 Wimbledon

[brightmount]

I would be grateful if any of you handwriting experts could cast your eye over the attachment. I am trying to decipher the second entry, No. 279, February 20th 1891.

Even better if you can then find them in the 1891 census. There ought to be a good chance as it was taken only weeks later, so hopefully the family were still at 70 Palmerston Road, Wimbledon.

The first name of the child looks like Arneil Inverity, I'm sure that doesn't look right. And the surname - Ross or Rots???

Hope someone can put me out of my misery!

Not found the parents yet, but ...

1891 census
RG12/606 folio 86 page 62
72 Palmerston Road, Wimbledon
Charlotte Collingham, head, widow, 53, monthly nurse (sick), born Middlesex Hanworth
George R. Rothenbury, son, single, 30, General Laborer, born Russia, Naturalized British Subject
Ernest T. Ross, boarder, 3 months, nurse child, born Surrey Wimbledon
Charles Minny, lodger, single, 29, General Laborer Unemployed, born Beds. Bedford

(perhaps Ernest T. should have been Arneil I.)

Also 'Arnold' with the same : 2a 311, Kingston, Surrey.   Anna

Thanks everyone, and for the pointer where to find the address. I have now found 70 Palmerston Road but unfortunately the family aren't there at the time of the 1891 census; it's inhavited by Richard B Collett and his family and Joseph Windibank and his family. So none the wiser on these names and they seem to have baffled the transcribers too!

It seems likely that the first name is Arneil, as suggested. That could have been read as Ernest on the household schedule for 72 Palmerston Road in 1891.

Throwing Arneil into various 'global' websites seems to produce more results for Scotland than for England, for what that's worth.

I wonder whether there was a family connection to the Harvey couple of the same address whose child was baptised at the same time (next line down)?

I could not find 70 Palmerston Road but the house must have looked something like this.
