The spacing of the children look very strange - almost as though 2 families confused - eg 10 months between two baptisms - the usual spacing of births (assuming breastfeeding) is nearer 2.5 years (31 months is that quoted by Wrigley in English Population History) - death of a child before age 1 will reduce gap somewhat to next child but your family has many gaps of less than 18months even though she is over 40.
