Anne Colles was born, likely at Bradwell, Buckinghamshire, the daughter of Michael Colles of Bradwell.[1] The date of her birth is not provided and has been assumed to be c. 1550 due to the dates of birth of her children (1581 - 1590).
She married William Cole, the eldest son of Thomas [Cole], of London, and Elizabeth Hargrave, daughter of Thomas Hargrave of London.
Both William and herself are said to have died in 1600 but her date of death is not provided in the source.[2] The family historian for the Cole family suggests 1603.[3]
For her children see the profile of her husband.

Categories: Estimated Birth Date
Marriage: Anne married William Cole, a London merchant who was born in 1540. [3] He was the son of Thomas Cole and Elizabeth Hargrave. [4] Thomas was a London grocer, and all of his children's birth records have been found in the All Hallows Honey Lane Parish records. [5] William Cole was baptized 12 May 1540. [6] [7] If William was born in 1540, and Anne's parents married in 1561, and if Anne was their eldest born c1561, and their eldest son, Michael was born in 1580[8] [9], then William and Anne married about 1579.
Death: The Visitation of London states that Anne died in 1598 and lyeth buried by her husband. [10] William Cole died 16 Feb 1600 and was buried at St. Margaret, Lothbury, London. [11] "The Genealogy of the Family of Cole" does not say she died in 1598, but gives 1603 as her death date. [12] Other published genealogies say 1600, such as The Peerage of Ireland [13]. The heraldic Visitation pedigrees should be used as the best source rather than the published genealogies. William also left a will which names his children.

I'm attaching an image of a visitation pedigree that gives a little more information on the couple. [1]
