Treasure Chest Thursday -- Burial Record of Thomas Hill (1702-1757) 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 1757 burial record of Thomas Hill in the Warminster, Wiltshire, Church of England parish burial records. 

The burial record for Thomas Hill is the fifth record on the page:

The transcription of this record is 

"[1757] [Jan] 23     Thomas Hill"

The source citation is:

Wiltshire, England baptisms, Warminster, Thomas Hill burial entry, 23 January 1757; imaged, "Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812,"   Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61187/records/495736 : accessed 18 February 2026), Warminster: St. Denys with St. Lawrence  >  Parish Registers > 1755-1762  > image 33 of 54; 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 burial date of Thomas Hill in the Warminster parish church.  I cannot be sure that this is the Thomas Hill that married Sarah Adlam in 1725 in Warminster because it is a very common name.

Thomas Hill (1702-1757) was baptized 15 October 1702 in Warminster, Wiltshire, the son of Robert and Elizabeth (Cox) Hill.  Thomas Hill married Sarah Adlam (1692-1773) on 28 June 1725 in Warminster, Wiltshire.    Sarah Adlam was baptized 1 March 1693/4 in Warminster, Wiltshire, the daughter of John Adlam; she was buried 21 July 1773 in Warminster, Wiltshire.    Thomas Hill was buried 23 January 1757 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.
