Help please with deciphering name

[Nairbbrian]

I'm trying to find the mother of Thomas Connolly.
On his marriage certificate it says his father is John and his mother is Mary Connolly.
I cannot decipher her maiden name. Any ideas would be appreciated as I have tried all different spellings. It looks a bit like McEnerey or something like that.

Please see attached file.

Thank you.

Looks a bit like Moran, which is a good Scots name!

I think McEnearney is pretty close.  That is also what I am seeing.

Shanreagh - are you looking at the entry beneath? Or am I looking at the wrong one?

[Nairbbrian]

Thank you both.

I have entered Mary McEnearney into marriage searches with John Connolly, (Thomas Connolly's mother and father) and zero matches for Thomas's  parents.

Thanks Brian

I agree with that as her MS.

Add = looked at it enlarged - it could be McEneaney

Might even be McEneaney.

Enlarged - but now made smaller to fit screen.

Hi ,thanks to you all, do you think, considering that Thomas was illiterate ,  there's a chance that the person filling out the form simple rendered a phonetic spelling . Eg Mc henry ,Mc endry,  Mc erney  etc and wrote what he thought he heard down .

Yes I was looking at the wrong lines......McEneaney looks as though it could be a contender.
