The title page notes that this register excludes names from ‘the old reception book’. The entries are listed under name, address, date of reception, name of sister, by whom received, and married or single status. Occasional remarks such as ‘deceased’, departed for Dublin, America etc. are also listed for some individuals.

The names and addresses of the benefactors are given. The final page of the register contains a note by Fr. Canice Bourke OFM Cap. indicating that the book has been closed and a new register opened (11 Apr. 1940).
