Angus Palmer has seen the original entry which states"1711 Mary ye daughter of Roger Coulds & Anne his wife Bapt Aug ye 1st" - 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.Marriage of Mary Cold and Nathaniel Sterry in the IGI on 13 February 1732 in Chedgrave, Norfolk. Angus Palmer believes this was Mary Cowles and adds Mary Sterry nee Cold died in 1774 and was buried in Kirby Cane on 22nd May 1774.
