Treasure Chest Thursday - 1690 Baptism of Grace Cox (1690-1748) in Trowbridge, 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 1690 baptism record of Grace Cox in the Trowbridge, Wiltshire parish register:

The baptism entry for Grace Cox is the second-to-last entry on the left-hand page of this image:

The transcription of the information on this record is:

"["1690] August 3 Grace daughter of Thomas Cox and Ann" 

The source citation for this census record is:

Wiltshire England Baptisms, Trowbridge, Grace Cox baptism entry, 3 August 1690, daughter of Thomas and Ann Cox; imaged, "Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/3217127:61187 : accessed 2 October 2024), Trowbridge, St. James  > Wiltshire > Parish Registers > 1539-1718, image 141 of 188; Original data: Wiltshire Church of England Parish Registers, Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, Chippenham, Wiltshire, England.

This is an Original Source record (because it is a church parish record book with information recorded as it occurred) with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the name and baptism date of Grace Crabb, and the names of her parents.

Grace Cox was baptzed on 3 August 1690 in St. James Church in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, the daughter of Thomas and Ann (--?--) Cox.  She was buried on 14 Augst 1748 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.  Grace Cox married Joseph Crabb (c1669-?????) in about 1716, probably in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.  

Joseph and Grace (Cox) Crabb are my 6th great-grandparents; they had at least 5 children, including my 5th great-grandmother Grace Crabb (1728-1769) who married William Noad (1722-????) in about 1722 in Staverton, Wiltshire.
