Hi, I have the book and looking at it, the only thing I can figure you are referring to is the date and page number the obit or announcement appeared in the Sun. So, 1/9/47-2 would mean the item was on page 2 of the Jan. 9, 1847 Sun. Hope this helps.

I suspect that one of the numerals was for marriages, the other for deaths, but want to be certain. I made notes some time back from the book, a copy of which I used at the library, and am now doing the laborious work of documenting all the data I obtained from it.
