Title: Surname of Sponsor on 1831 Baptism?
Post by: Wexflyer on Sunday 15 December 24 03:53 GMT (UK)
On the baptism of William Roache, August 27th, 1831, third entry from bottom right, I can't quite make out the surname of the (single) sponsor, Catherine B..... Perhaps Bourke?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Possibly Barker - looking at the name Corker to the left ?

Bourke

Ends in "ke". There is no "r" at the end.

That surname is Cosker. A variant/synonym of Cosgrave/Cosgrove.

Tricky isn't it. I think I would go with BARKER.

Looking at the "ur" in "Furlong" on the line below, I'm thinking "Burke".
