Baptismal names in Latin
« on: Friday 20 October 23 20:20 BST (UK) »
Would anyone know if the name Thomas would be recorded as Thaddeus in Irish Catholic parish registers?

I doubt it. Was the child known as Thomas later?
Have you got a link to the baptism?

The Irish for Timothy is Tadgh - perhaps Thaddeus was used as the Latin version.

Thomas Cunningham born in Roscommon 1823. (UK census 1871)
There is a baptism record for a Thaddeus Cunningham in Boyle, Roscommon dated 23/07/1823.
Not knowing his exact place of birth I was wondering if this could be the same person

Thomas when it is latinised in Ireland, that I have seen is Tomas or Thoma. Thaddeus/Thady are some times used to mean Timothy. 

I would sense that Thoma/Tomas/Thaddeus/Timothy would all be a bit unusual in England and he may have used Thomas to make it simpler.

The Record Interpreter gives Thadeus as the Latin equivalent of Thady.

Thaddeus is for Tadgh, often anglicised as Timothy, Teague or Thady.

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