Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1713 Baptism of John Maishman (1713-1761) in Melksham, Wiltshire

  It's Treasure Chest Thursday - an opportunity to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history research and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 173 Baptism entry for the John Maishman in the Melksham, Wiltshire parish register:

The baptism record for John Marshman is the 15th entry from the bottom of the page:


The transcription of this record is:

"John the son of William Maishman   August 25'th [1713]"

The source citation for this record is:

John and Jane (Crook) Marshman are my 5th great-grandparents; they had 8 children, including my 4th great-grandmother John Marshman (1747-????) who married Anne Angel (1749-1795) in 1767 in Lacock, Wiltshire.
