Treasure Chest Thursday - 1702 Baptism of Thomas Hill in Warminster, 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 1702 baptism record of Thomas Hill  in the Warminster, Wiltshire parish register:

The 1702 baptism entry for Thomas Hill is in the middle of the page:


The transcription of the information on this record is:

"[1702] [Oct] 15  Thomas son of Robert Hill Jun'r -- Carpenter"

The source citation for this census record is:

Wiltshire, England baptisms, Warminster, Thomas Hill baptism entry, 15 October 1702; imaged, "Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812,"   Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/records?recordId=751342&collectionId=61187 : accessed 20 November 2024), Warminster: St. Denys with St. Lawrence  >  Parish Registers > 1682-1759 > image 31 of 176; Original data in 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 Thomas Hill, and his father's name, in the Warminster parish church.  

Thomas Hill (1702-1757) was baptized 15 October 1702 in Warminster, Wiltshire, the son of Robert and Elizabeth (Cox) Hill.  He was buried 23 January 1757 in Warminster, Wiltshire.  Thomas married Sarah Adlam (1692-1773) on 28 June 1725 in Warminster, Wiltshire.  Sarah was baptized 1 March 1693 in Warminster, Wiltshire, the daughter of John Adlam; she was buried 21 July 1773 in Warminster, Wiltshire.  Thomas and Sarah (Adlam) Hill had at least 5 children.

Thomas and Sarah (Adlam) Hill are my 6th great-grandparents, through my 5th great-grandfather John Hill (1726-1769) who married Patience Ring (1725-1791) in 1743 in Hilperton, Wiltshire.
