Baptismal names in Latin

Thanks to everyone for that. Looks like they're not the same person.

I actually would not dismiss this person from your tree.  Just because the names do not correlate one to one does not mean that they are not related to you.  As I said he may have wanted to make it simple for a new life in England.  Having a 'difficult' and Irish name in those days may have meant he chose a less awkward name.

England's official religion is Church of England, Scotland's religion is Presbyterian and Wales has the "Baptist church". . 

Throughout history you'll find that at various times the Catholics had to hide their religion and at other times the Protestants had to hide their religion.

My OHs ancestry has one Irish couple in it who sailed to the British mainland to find work but I discovered the bread winner had changed his Irish Catholic given name to a less obvious one of "Denis"
