Baptism, St Michael's Limerick, 11 July 1789. John Rooney.

I can make out parents John Rooney and Maria Comyn, but am struggling with the sponsors.  William Brow?  Susana W?

Many thanks for having a look.

Hmmm....maybe it's Kooney?

Susana Worleach?
Christian name of 1st sponsor looks like Michael to me. Unless I was looking at  wrong baptism. What number was it on page? child's name and date, in case I was examining wrong one?
Was that squiggle before Susana last letter of other sponsor's surname or was it &? If it was meant to be & then last letter of Michael's surname might be d; the top bit of the letter curved backwards.  Letter following B might be "e".

I also think it could well be Kooney (or similar).

In the left column of the top image you'll find the surnames Kelly and Kirby, with very similar initial letters.

I scanned both images but couldn't see an R name.

BTW I agree that the first sponsor is Michael.

Oh yes - it's Michael.

Thanks for looking.

I have come across the name Worlledge, but in Wales.
