Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1748 Burial of Joanna Lavor 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 1748 burial record of Joanna Lavor in the South Petherton, Somerset Church of England parish records.


The burial entry for Joanna Lavor  is the first record for April 1748 on the left-hand page:


The transcription of this record is:

"[1748] Apr. 1   Joanna Johannis Lavor uxor"

Joanna Axe (1682-1748) was baptized on 4 November 1682 in the South Petherton (Somerset) Church of England parish, the daughter of Samuel Axe and Ruth Pike.  She married John Lavor  (1689-1755) on 15 June 1709 in the South Petherton, Somerset parish.  She died before 1 April 1748 in South Petherton when she was buried.

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.
