    It's always preferable to show the entire document so we can compare other words in the same document.

    That said - that's probably "Thady" - a short form of Thaddeus. I have quite a few in my family.

    See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thady

    In Ireland, it appears to be a popular diminutive of Thaddeus, as Aine appears to know! (Actually, would have thought it should be "Thaddy", to match its origin and better reflect pronunciation.)

    Thadeus, Thaddeus, Thadius, Thaddius are all variants I've found within my own family.
