This Gendex contains entries for the Cowles (Coules, Coulds, Couls, Cowell, Cowls) family, descendents of Robert Coules, my seventh great grandfather. Early spellings include Coules, Coulds and Couls, and the name may have derived from Coles. The earliest Norfolk reference is a Roger Colls born about 1593 in Great Snoring (40 miles NW of Kirby Cane). Angus Palmer states that that in the Kirby Cane Parish Register from 1668 to 1718 that the spelling is Could(s) and 'The writing is absolutely clear except that every time 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'. However from 1719 the spelling changed to Cowles.
