I'm trying to finish an 1870 baptismal record from Sligo, Ireland. I can make sense of what's what until the end of the page. It appears that the scribe ran out of room. He put several names down but did not use the form he had used the rest of the page so it's a mystery of why they are there and who did what.

Should I just turn in the batch without those names?

    @Florence Ensign Sadler Hi, Yes the batch code is [MQSJ-2B3] In my opinion, the Name Honor Egan should be your last entry, making a total of 10 --the names below Honor would be parents, then beginning with Ema Phillips appear to be sponsors or witnesses. Just use the trashcan to eliminate Entry 11. You've done a great job of deciphering this old record - happy indexing😎

    Please share the batch code in brackets, like this: [XXXX-xxx] so we can see the entire record.
