Default Baptism confusion help!

I came across these baptism records whilst looking for my relative. They may or may not be for the right peson, but whatever, I am finding them very confusing (All from Ancestry):

Bristol, England, Non-Conformist Baptism, Marriage and Burial Registers, 1644-1981 (image)

Baptism Age: 0
Record Type: Baptism

I did find images of Hinton Blewett PRs on Ancestry but couldn't see the first entry in them (the page was difficult and the dates all over the place though). Not sure about Shortwood/Short Wood?
