What is Catherine's surname?

[GailB]

Hi

Can anyone decipher Catherine's surname. She was the mother of my ancestor John Connors who was baptised in New Ross, Wexford in 1823.

Also I can't make out the name of the sponsors if anyone can help there also.

Looks a bit like 'Kinsila' -- although I cannot understand the letters above the surname. which resemble 'son'.

I'd agree with that,but the surname can also be written as Kinsella.

I see Kinsila too (Kinsella?)

Second sponsor Marguerite McGuire?

First sponsor

Gulielmis  (William) then I see FA ......     I wondered about Faulkner but there is no downstroke in that. That letter looks very like the G in Marguerite.  So maybe the middle letters are GHT

I read it as William Fayther & Marguerite McGuire

Looking at the original (reverse image white on black) -

agree "Kinsila" and "Margarita/e McGuire"

First witness "Gulielmus" or similar - William.

I'd forgotten you also asked about sponsors.

The Marguerite McGuire suggestion looks very promising indeed.
The male sponsor -- yes William in it's Latin form - then --Faughtner? Can't be that though!

Many thanks everyone

I thought Catherine's surname looked like Kinsila. Agree with the Sponsor Margaret McGuire and I knew Guilielmus was William but his surname is not easy. I thought it started Fair......

Thanks again
