A case for Coutes?

After what seems like irrefutable evidence that my mysterious great grandmother was “Anne Hunter alias Kot Choy” there is one more little snippet of evidence that can’t be ignored. 

A photocopy of a typed “Carl Smith card” from way back, that while clearly typed, it was bit difficult to make sense of.
 

I recently found a copy of the original Carl Smith notes taken from the records book. What it tells is that the baptisms were all at St Peters, the Seamen’s Church. When viewed along with all the other entries, the context becomes quite clear. The name of his father and mother are quite clear. “William Leyland and Catherine Hunter” Could this be the “Catherine” my mother listed on her father’s death certificate?

Surnames are all underlined.

What is still a mystery is “why would James Hunter get baptized at this point in his life?” He was 37 years old, already married, and had a 12 year old daughter ( born in 1899 ) Of note is the fact that his wife and daughter were both of the Catholic faith and James’ baptism at St Peter’s would have also been a Catholic rite, but when he died in 1937, he was buried at the main Colonial Cemetery at Happy Valley, whereas his wife who predeceased him in 1933 was buried at St Michael’s Catholic Cemetery. Their daughter who passed away in 1944 was interred with her mother at St Michael’s.
