Default Burial entry - another pair of eyes, please

Can anyone read the first entry on the left-hand page, please? It is very faint.

I think the first name is Anna but it is in Latin so she was probably an Ann(e). I haven't managed to decipher the surname yet. Date is 23rd November.

I'm so hoping she is Anne Wood, Kate. Thanks for looking.

Her husband Thomas Wood died a couple of years earlier and I have his will and have transcribed it. She was alive then.

There is another will and inventory:

Stow Will
WOOD, Anne, wid. Harpswell 1669-71, 198

Inventory - Wood, Ann (1669)
Date: 1669 Collection: Lincolnshire Archives Reference: INV/170/23

You can see from the will that the day was between 1669 and 1672, and her burial must be in the register sometime before the end of 1672. I'm having such trouble reading the entries as some of them are so faint.

It doesn't look like Wood to me, Elizabeth. Something like Kaupe?

Couldn't she (your Ann) could be buried somewhere else, though?

She could be buried elsewhere, Kate, but I wouldn't have thought it very likely.
I'm trying to compare the two entries - her husband Thomas's burial is on the previous page, left-hand side.

The handwriting is very difficult and I have been finding it difficult to find any Woods at this time, although I know they are there from BTs.

I've just e-mailed Lincolnshire Archives and I'm hoping they might look for me or look at the BTs. I'm not sure whether they will though.
