Transcription (as read)
Under "January 1859", the third entry of the 2nd: "2 Charles, James McCauly [McCaly/McCarty?], [Whitehill?] Sponsors Denis Lynard [Lynnard/Lennard?] & Margaret Lynard [same]".
Plain reading
Baptized 2 January 1859: Charles, son of James McCauly, of [Whitehill?]; sponsors Denis and Margaret Lynard (Leonard).
Notes
The register names the father, the townland and the sponsors only; no mother. With the 1862 baptism of James McCauly and Margaret Leonard's son at White Hill (Baptism_Register_James_McCauly_Killesher_County_Fermanagh_1862_NLI_Microfilm_05345_05_Page_19), the 1859 Charles is probably Margaret Leonard's son, not Mary Hoey's (F93) (POSSIBLE). Grade: STATED for the entry;
