Megan,
That has been my understanding of the meaning of the cross in the records, also. When one of my relatives in Poland went to the parish church of our ancestors to obtain records, the priest added a cross next to the name of those children who had died(Some the same day as they were born).
In looking at the parish records through LDS, I found some priests kept very precise records and wrote very neatly while others were illegible. You were fortunate to hit a lucky batch!
