Please look up original birth record for me.

TipperaryNewport (Tipperary)

I'm researching the birth of MICHAEL RYAN, born 1816 in Tipperary. Related names include LYNCH and BUTLER.

I found a birth record in the Newport parish register online, but the first name of the child is illegible. The child's parents are John Ryan and Ellen Lynch, and both names show up in other contexts.

Could someone please look at the original register and read the first name? The record is the first one for December 1816 and starts " of John Ryan Taylor Glencro& Ellen Lynch".

Thanks.

Thanks for the information.  I knew about Bridget and Ellen but not the other boys.

However, from the digitized image of this page in the register, it seems that the child born in 1816 must have had a first name; after all this was a baptism.  I notice that the word "December" too is very faint and I wonder whether the priest simply switched ink bottles before contining with the rest of the sentence.

It doesn't look like anything spilled on the page either, so I'm puzzled about why it's so hard to read.
