1836 Cloyne Cork RC baptism register no headings

Not sure whether to post this one on Cork forum or "Deciphering documents" forum..

1836 Cloyne Co. Cork, RC Baptism register is proving really difficult.  This particular egister from 1833 - till 1861 only lists month and year at top of page - no "headings" - therefore finding it hard to tell who is child, who is father, mother.  Previous 1831 records usually listed child first - for example "John, of William Smith and Mary Brown, sponsors. Fred Reilly, Bridie Brown"...  But not this particular register! 
Second problem is the use or overuse of abbreviations "Wm., for William", Jn. for John, Mgt for Margaret etc. 
After much deliberation, I am wondering if in fact, the order of the listing is... Fathers name and surname, mothers name and surname,.. baby's name (often abbreviated, and with no surname!!,) and finally two sponsors names at end of line. 
I have found one entry which just may be the one I am looking for...  Will attach it here - without telling you what I think it is...
Suggestions very welcome!

Hi,
From this record you have I see Ellen is the Child.
Priests logged the info how ever way they preferred.
Until they had the actual Parish books that are headed in Latin.
Depending on how the Parish got money, to buy the books.
If it's Ellen you are looking for I can get the Baptism record for you.
Would you like it?

Hi Maggsie,

Are you able to find a record other than this one?  I certainly would like it!!  The surname "Mullowny" is actually later on "Maloney" - or "Moloney"... various versions lolol!

Oh I know a Mullowney family, we always thought it was a relatively recent misspelling of Maloney but it would appear not.

Agree it's Ellen btw
