Hi. Some of this old writing is really hard to decipher.

Looking at your batch, I would guess that it refers to witnesses or sponsors. They all come after the parents.
Mar 6 Patricum ex Martin Roach et A Mahon
I would say Patricuum is the son of Martin Roach and A Mahon
Mar 7 Cath A ex Thos Mullay et Cath Lasery

Thank you for your help. I thought that that was probably the case, but it’s good to have a second opinion.

The meaning of the double p is to make the abbreviated word plural, and it stands for godparents, in Latin. Sometimes you will a double s, meaning sponsors, which is the same thing.
