On the same day, another member of the same Grattan family was baptised there, Alfred Grattan, the son of another surgeon, Edwin Thomas Grattan and Mary. A Thomas Carter officiated at all the above christenings, and must have been close to the family, since John Smith Grattan named a son after him.
Notes On Rev. John Thomas Willis:

Richard Ward Pring administered the 1869 will of the Offaly-born spinster (of Elizabeth Locke who died in Wexford. Richard's brother was Edward John Locke Pring, which seems to suggest that the Prings were somehow related to the Locke family - possibly Elijah Pring had married a member of this family.
