Can you read the attached document?

The attached document contains the Feb 1824 Loughrea documentation  of the wedding of John Ryan and Sarah Tarpy.

The entry I am trying to read is on left side page towards the top.

SEE BELOW FOR WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, CAN YOU HELP ME WITH DECIPHERING WHAT THE CHARACTERS ARE WHERE I HAVE QUESTION MARKS.

Cahernagarry M John Ryan to Sarah Tarpy

????? Tarpy Honor Burke,  ? john ????

I cannot make out the first name of the first sponsor or the last name at the end of the second line. Not sure but the name at the end of the line may be the name of the priest.

Appreciate your ideas

Marge

Thank you. I should have known that since I know Andrew was Sarah's father.

 

Thanks!

I am posting a reply to this old post, even though it is not appropriate because I cannot figure out how to make a NEW post. Here' goes

I found baptismal record  that indicate the baptism took place in rootsireland.ie See cut and paste of the record below.

Cloneen, Clough, County Kilkenny..

 When I go to townlands.ie and start to drill down to look for the Cloneen townland to find the map and boarders, I see that there is no Civil Parish named Clough listed

I am only able to find Cloneen on townlands.ie if I use the Civil Parish of Castlecomer. 

If I go to the registers section of the National library of Ireland and I look at their map I see  Csatlecomer  and directly north of that is Clough.  https://registers.nli.ie/

On the NLI website the baptismal records of Castlecomer and Clough are listed as being in separate Civil Parishes.

I find this confusing.

Was Clough at one point a civil parish and at some point later Clough was merged into Castlecomer?

Anything to enliighten me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
