Christening of Anne Coulds in a submitted entry in the IGI on 13 November 1712 in Kirby Cane, Norfolk, parents Roger and Anne Coulds.
Angus Palmer has seen the original entry which states "1712 Anne ye daughter of Roger Coulds & Anne his wife Bapt Nov 13th" - there is a little squiggle after the "d" and its hard to tell if that is meant to be an "s" or is simply a flourish.
