Mary,

The Tom- part doesn't look too bad, but the -bery looks suspicious. But,
since this is a problem with reading difficult script, and not a mis-hearing
of a name.........I went to the seanruad website and entered "Tom" and
specified only at the beginning of the word. To my eyes, the Tombay in
Wexford looks like a possibility - if there's some way you can make the
script "er" look like an "a". If you had a clue as to which part of the
country your gggf came from, it would help quite a bit.
