I was talking to a good friend of mine regarding this parish.
I haven't a clue how it came about. (probably the numbers involved while searching)
1835 was the year chosen at random........ 490 basptisms were carried out in the parish in 1835. When one says baptism circa 1833-1837 which you should give youself (at least) when searching you can see how the total multiplies and of course the chance of the names coming up twice increase too.
It is always wise to widen the search years.
Finally,yes the entries were individually counted.
