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 1848 baptism entry for Thomas Richman in the Wiltshire, England, Non-Conformists Baptisms, Marriages and Burial Records, 1810-1987:
The baptism entry is the third entry in the list:
The abstract of this record is::
* When Baptized: July 13 [1848]
* Child's Name: Thomas
* Parents Christian Names: James & Hannah
* Parents Surname: Richman
* Abode: Hilperton
* Child's Age: June 10 1848
* Minister: W'm Box
The source citation for this record is (using Evidence Explained 4th edition template 10):
Wiltshire Non-Conformist Registers, Thomas Richman baptism entry, 13 July 1848; imaged, "Wiltshire, England Non-Conformists Baptisms, Marriages and Burial Records, 1810-1987," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/61766/images/61766_302022005560_3245-00041 : accessed 28 February 2024) > Methodists > Trowbridge, Manvers St > Mixed > 1843-1863 > image 40 of 114; citing Wiltshire Non-Conformist Registers, Chippenham, Wiltshire, England: Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre.
This is an entry in the register for the Manvers Street Wesleyan-Methodist Chapel in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. It is an Original Source with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the baptism of Thomas Richman.
Thomas Richman (1848-1917) was born 10 June 1848 in Hilperton, Wiltshire, the son of James and Hannah (Rich) Richman. He was baptized on 13 July 1848 in the Manvers Street Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Trowbridge. The Richman family migrated to Rhode Island and Connecticut in 1856, and Thomas Richmond married Julia E. White on 20 June 1868 in Killingly, Connecticut. Thomas died 9 November 1917 in Clinton, Massachusetts.
Before I found this record on Ancestry.com, I was unable to find a baptism in the Hilperton (Church of England) parish records, but I found his birth entry in the Civil Registration. Hannah (Rich) Richman was probably baptized in this same church in 1824, and the record was copied into the Hilperton parish registers in 1837, but her baptism record is not in this Non-Conformist Register at Ancestry.com.
Thomas and Julia (White) Richmond are my great-grandparents; they had 9 children, including my grandmother Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962) who married Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942) in 1900 in Leominster, Massachusetts.
