Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1673 Baptism Record of Henry Rawlins in Staverton, 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 1673 Baptism record of Henry Rawlins in the Staverton, Wiltshire Church of England parish records.

The baptism entry for Henry Rawlins is the third record for 1673 baptism on the page scrap:


The transcription of this record is:

"[1673] Henry y'e son of Henry Rawlins & wife was Baptized Febr 1"

The source citation is:

Staverton, Wiltshire, Church of England records, Henry Rawlins baptism entry, 1 February 1673, son of Henry Rawlins and wife;  imaged, "Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriage and Burials, 1531-1812," Ancestry.com  (https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61187/records/993446 : accessed 11 March 2026), Staverton > Parish Registers > 1673-1812, image 7 of 106; Original records in Original data in Wiltshire Church of England Parish Registers, Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, Chippenham, Wiltshire, England.

Henry Rawlins was born before 1 February 1673 in Staverton, Wiltshire, the son of Henry Rawlins and Elizabeth --?--.   He married Jane Andrews (1681-1757) on 28 January 1705 in Wilsford, Wiltshire.  Henry died before 19 August 1744 when he was buried in Wootten Rivers, Wiltshire.

Henry and Jane (Andrews) Rawlins are my 6th great-grandparents, through their daughter Elizabeth Rawlings (1714-1770) who married Joseph Richman (1710-1761) in 1731 in Whaddon, Wiltshire.
