William Jourdan or Histon or Hishon baptised Dromcollogher, Limerick 1839

Hello from Australia,

 

Searching for information on William baptised in Dromcollogher, Limerick on 17-Jan-1839 – Catholic Parish “Drumcollogher and Broadford”. He is shown as illegitimate on the baptism record. The father is shown as Michael HISTON or HISHON. Can anyone decipher the father’s surname? Looking at the handwriting and other names in on the same page, the fourth letter appears to be a “t” and not an “h” making it HisTon not HisHon as the father’s surname. The link to the baptism……. https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634937#page/62/mode/1up The entry is about half-way down the left-hand page (page 117).

 

Would William have been taken the surname Jourdan or Histon/Hishon?

 

If anyone has any knowledge of William (who/when he married, children, etc), his mother Bridget (did she go on to marry someone else) or Michael Histon/Hishon, please advise.

 

Thanks, Alan Denham
