Several questions about help indexing

I'm learning about how to ask for human help deciphering handwriting with this specific example:

Method #1: Share Batch Link

https://www.familysearch.org/indexing/batch/05ac38f9-42d6-492b-acd0-ae5f3a5c8890

Line 6 - seems to me the handwriting/writer obviously changes and is more difficult to read and so I will need multiple help deciphering it.

Q: Also under Share Batch it has Share Batch Code and mentions give this to someone over the phone. Is there a specific Indexing help phone or I suppose an option off the Support phone tree?

Method #2: attach image

My indexing guess so far:

Line 6 (highlighted with ruler): Cath of John [R/B]a?n & Mary Canovan

At first I thought the name was Bennet but after looking around the page I believe what I thought was a t is an & between the parents names. Now I am leaning towards the Surname being Barrie

Line 7: Jo^a of Andrew Couney/[Connery] & Mary [?P/D/N/M?]*[?al/at/ut?]

I am also taking advantage of the compiled surname list the project includes - just having difficulty deciphering...

Thank you.
