Dublin St Paul's baptism records & index on NLI
« on: Monday 01 February 21 13:02 GMT (UK) »
This question probably has a simple answer but I'm struggling to find it and wonder if anyone can help.

I've been browsing the NLI's images for Dublin St Paul's for baptisms c. 1782 to 1785 and, up to May 1783, each name has an index number above it that correlates with an alphabetical index at the start of the register images.

From June 1783 onwards, however, whilst there is an alphabetic index of names, the numbers themselves aren't included in the register images. Is there a way of working out how to find a baptism by its index number, other than counting forward from the the last entry in May 1783?

The two microfilms I've been browsing are 08834/01 for bps up to May 1783 (last index number is 2245), and 08834/02 for June 1783 onwards.

Many thanks for any help with this.
