Hi Sinann
Thank you so much for your help. I' ve got it as Arthur and Catherine too now, the other paper I have I now see its probably Arthurus (Latin) or similar (and Catherina). I would never have got the priest though thank you. Can I also ask you, do you know this - am I right in what I have now read that  this is  St Nicholas  Church built circa 1822 and not St Patricks which was built circa 1858 or was there an earlier church on the site of st Patricks. I cannot see anything on the link but I could be missing where it is.

It depends where they were from Portlaw or Ballyduff the marriage has no address.
The OSI mapviewer has a RC Church in Porlaw on the 6" 1829-41 map

and have a larger named church on the same site on the 25" 1887 to 1913 map

You are making an assumption, that they were married in church. Not necessarily a good assumption at that date.

The word after Bridget Flangan seems to be most of them, think it could be abbreviated Latin for witnesses

It is "Test", a contraction of 'Testis" or "Testes", the Latin for witness/witnesses.
