Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1709 Marriage of John Lavor and Joanna Axe in South Petherton, Somerset

  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 1709 Marriage record of John Lavor and Joanna Axe in the South Petherton, Somerset Church of England parish records.

The marriage entry for John Lavor and Joanna Axe is the third record for 1709 on the left-hand page:

"[1709] Junii 12   John Lavor Joannam Axe in uxorem duxit"

John Lavor (1687-1755) was baptized on 19 January 1687 in the South Petherton (Somerset) Church of England parish, the son of Samuel Lavor and his unknown wife.  He married Joanna Axe (1682-1748) on 15 June 1709 in the South Petherton, Somerset parish. Joanna Axe was baptized 4 November 1682 in the South Petherton parish church, the daughter of Samuel and Ruth (Pike) Axe.

John and Joanna (Axe) Lavor are my 7th great-grandparents, through their son John Lavor (1722-1799) who married Elizabeth Wills (1730-1796) in 1750 in Lopen, Somerset, England.
