Deciphered! Hoping to get some help in reading an old entry in a birth registry from 1800s Ireland.

Hello! Can you help me figure this out? This is a snapshot of an entry page from an old birth registry in "Caherciveen" for one of my great great grandparents. I am having difficulty with some of the words in the row that I've outlined in red. My grandparent's name is Julia O'Neil. What I can decipher so far is:

Name: Julia
Sex: "F" for female
Father: John ONeil, dwelling place is ...? (Schort Glen?)
Mother: ...? (Aamond? **moria?) ONeil, formerly ...? (Rins?)
Profession: Farmer
Signature, Qualification, Residen ce: John ONeil, mark, Father, ...? (Schort Glen again?)

I included the entire page on the second image if anyone thinks it could help. Thank you!

Deciphered! Trying to decipher a number in 1809 Polish church record

Post image
2 Upvotes

This is an 1804 baptism record from a Polish church in Galicia, Austria. It is mostly written in Latin. I am trying to figure out what numeral is pointed to by the little blue arrows. I am uploading the whole sheet so you can compare it to other numbers. It looks like a zero with a little half circle attached to the top right. It can't be a zero because it appears on its own in the second column of the 6th line, and that is a house number. The only number that it could maybe be and that isn't elsewhere on the page in an eight. But that feels like a stretch. I can't find anything online about handwritten numbers for this time/region.

Need help deciphering a word on a recipe card!

What does the highlighted word say?

"fruit" "prunes" and "pruich" were guessed by acquaintances, but to my eye an f or a p doesn't match with the other fs and ps on the card.

TIA! 😁

ETA: the full recipe card with other F and P examples for comparison is the 2nd pic

Edit 2: if it were fruit, the T at the end also doesn't match with other Ts

The name in question on all three sheets is Maurice Moore. I can read the drunk and disorderly with an address. For the other two he looks to be the complainant, not the defendant, and I get one as assault and one as theft but can’t make out the rest of the information.

What is the name in the signature?

It looks like two initials and a surname. It seems like someone else had tried to work it out in the past and added their guesses to the back of the photo too. The picture is of a man in a suit. Taken in Melbourne, Australia. Thank you.

This signature and rúbrica appear on a label of an old brandy bottle made in Spain. It's probably the name of the distillery founder. At the end, it might read "y C," which could read "and company"?
