Possibly Thady (diminutive of Thaddaeus)?

What is the record - PR, BMD, school register or other?

Ah brilliant thank you.

It's a census record. The family originate from Ireland so that would appear to be correct. It's not a name I've heard of before.

Thady was often used as a pet name for Timothy. In the Latin registers they put it as Thaddeus. It can also appear for the name Tadhg.

Many thanks. The father was called Timothy so that would make sense.  :)
