Need help decipering the burial of the infant daughter of William Scatchard, please:

Infant ? Willm Scratchyeard of Alwoodley ? fuit ? ? ? December

Infant ?quida[ ]? Willm Scatchard of Alwoodley sepult
fuit decimo octavo die mensis Decembris

Not sure about second word could be quidam but not sure how that would fit in context

So infant child of William Scatchard of Alwoodley buried the eighteenth day of the month of December.

Infans quidam means 'A certain infant'.
