Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1763 Baptism Record of Joanna Lavor (1763-1836) in South Petherton, Somerset, England

 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 1763 Baptism of Joanna Lavor in the South Petherton, Somerset Church of England parish records.

The baptism of Joanna Lavor is the third entry in the 1763 section on the left-hand page:

The transcription of the baptism entry is:
