Oh wow, great find, thank you!!

Ok, so I am reading Edward Gla....  and Catherine Cowley?  What are the sponsors, are they Godparents?

Yes, Godparents.
Mmm not sure about Edward's name, people on the deciphering board might be worth asking, also a check for other workhouse births to see if they are people who work for the workhouse and do this regularly.

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated 

Your welcome, Unfortunately I'm not finding anything you didn't already know.

I think they are on number 2166 as well

Not always together but I think their names turn up quite often
2113 and 2114

Dead end with those two I'd say.

You've been a fantastic help!  I now have definite proof of the facts, with you finding the images instantly for me.  Thank you so much!

I will post to the deciphering board. 

Thanks again

Yes I think you are correct.  Gosh, your eyes are much better than mine!

I saw.  I shall no longer be posting to the deciphering board!

It is interesting, although I'm not sure how useful it is that Anne was still using O'Brien when she married.
I wonder does that mean her mother never married, or at least not until Anne was past an age when she would change her surname to a step father's name.

Interesting indeed, and something I shall endeavour to investigate.  Love family history!
