Thanks so much. I wonder why the maiden names of the mothers aren't listed? More work for me, lol. Thanks again.

You're very welcome. Unfortunately there were no set standards for these earlier church records. The Council of Trent in the mid 1500s only dictated to the parishes that they had to maintain records of events in their parishes such as births, marriages, and deaths. It did not dictate the format those records had to take. So it was up to the individual priest or his clerk who recorded the events, as to what info was included or omitted.
