What are their names?
« on: Sunday 26 November 17 05:39 GMT (UK) »
Please see attached snapshot of a register dated 1830s.  I am interested in the names of the couple who are listed on the 4th row.  What is Elizabeth's surname?  Is Mr Moore's first name Daniel, David, Dennis or something else?

Help in deciphering these names will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I'd go with Elizabeth Maher, and David Moore, although it could certainly be Daniel too.

Further comparisons, looks likely to be David as the end 'd' is similar to the 'd' in Kennedy 3 lines below as well as a difference in the 'l' in McGinly 4 lines below.

I wondeer . . .  five rows beneath is Mary Mehan ?  - very similar writing so maybe Elizabeth Mehan ?   
Just a thought.

Not sure about David/Daniel . . . .  probably David.

How about Elizabeth Mahon?  I think it's David Moore, thanks to Annie's reference to the 'd' in Kennedy.

Possibly, but the writer has tended to form 'a's fairly clearly - and differently from that in 'Mehan' . . . . . I think.      ;)

I agree, though Moore could be Moor - a rather unusual spelling ???
