Thank You Aghadowey for looking.
It's upsetting and unnerving to see such a high number on each and every page.
I wouldn't have thought that ONE institution could account for these high numbers.
Was it possible that it was done to keep the numbers down in other churches ?
I just can't imagine this vast number of women going to that church day in, day out to have these children baptised.
Was it possible that the names were 'sent' to the clerk or the priest to be written up ?
Why no address', surely that was needed by this time ?
UGH maybe I'm reading too much into it but it's not sitting well with me.

PS
I'm also looking at a lot where the surname wasn't written down ~ would these even show up on rootsireland ?
I ask because if people were using rootsireland as a search engine, then a lot of baptisms would be missed.
