Irish Parish Registers - Catholic - Records marked with a cross

Greetings from Australia,

I have located a baptismal record, County Cork, Parish of Kildorrery, 20 September 1827 (copy attached) with a cross marked alongside the entry.

My understanding is that if a cross is placed against the entry of the person in parish registers, or in this case a baptism of a child, the child has died.

If you notice on the page, all the entries have a cross against the name of the child. I understand that there were many children deaths in Ireland at the time, but surely not all have died. Some entries have two crosses, so does that mean the child has died. So, I wonder what one cross would mean?

My entry reads as follows:

20 September 1827

Child baptised is Matthew

Parents are Owen O'Keeffe and Joanne Downing (Downey)

Residence is Kildorrery

The image has come from https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634240#page/30/mode/1up

My particular entry has the red arrow against it in the attachment.

Hope a reader can clarify this for me.

Regards,

Suzanne
