CS271/74552 is a single folded sheet, referring to a John King, Farmer in Unthank and his spouse Ann Connell. There is also mention of an Anne Murray, spouse of the deceased George Connel, Bleacher, and a Margaret Connell, sister of Ann.
With the above document I have in my possession I was able to locate that Ann was actually born
