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 1796 Burial record of Eliz[abe]th Lavor in the South Petherton, Somerset Church of England parish records.
The burial entry for Elizabeth Lavor is the first record on the right-hand page:
"[1796] Jan'y 1 Eliz'th Wife of John Lavor"

Elizabeth Wills (1730-1796) was baptized 16 August in Merriot, Somerset, England, the daughter of Thomas and Mary (Scriven) Wills. Elizabeth Wills married John Laver (1722-1799) on 16 April 1750 in Lopen, Somerset. Elizabeth (Wills) Lavor died before 1 January 1796 when she was buried in South Petherton.
John and Elizabeth (Wills) Laver are my 6th great-grandparents, through their daughter Joanna Lavor (1763-1836) who married John Vaux (1747-1806) in 1785 in South Petherton, Somerset, England.
