I have a baptism for Guathina Hen Flanagan in St. Patrick's Church on 2 March 1879.

However, I can't find any indication of what Guathina stands for - anyone got any ideas?

It is possible he, or she, may have died before the 1881 census as there is no child in that family who would have been born around that time.

I would hazard a guess that it would be Catherine, perhaps a badly written Catherina?

But maybe - there wasn't an obvious entry for Q1 1879 but looking at Q2 1879 there is

Flanagan Walter Henry W. Derby 8b 191

Thanks for the responses. I think it is actually Walter Henry.
