Waterford Baptism

Hi There

Can anyone make out this name ?

It's a sponsor at an 1860's Waterford, Ireland baptism.

Thanks

Tara

Not too sure but surname possibly Grehan?   Any other G on page to compare?

The surname's first letter appears to match the B that is in Bridget on other parts.

Conahy, I came up with Brehan, which is similar to your thought, I must check if that's an actual surname or not though !

Treetotal, yes I thought something latin for Ellen perhaps ?

Backus  ???

It's a surname in Waterford, a rare one but what do you think ?
