Proper parish register – in Latin – gives date of birth and then baptismal date
e.g Die 15th Septembris 1851 nata et die 20th, septembris baptizata est Maria filia Thomas ?Morly et Catharina Conway(olim )…conjugum… a me Petrus Geraghty Paschus
Patrimus fuit: Joannes Neila Matrina fuit Anna Fahy
Last entry in this manner is an 1870 one then a few pages of all squished together – the 1871 entries? Can’t read

Note: the index says some pages missing and that there are several groups of entries for various dates. This register has entries ‘mixed up’, i.e. one part of a page or a page can be for one year, the next for two or three later and then it goes back to the earlier year. Some notes have been made re changes in years through these extracts
One of the thin, long falling to pieces kind of registers!
