Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1681 Baptism Record of Jane Andrews in Rushall, 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 1681 Baptism record of Jane Andrews in the Rushall, Wiltshire Church of England parish records.

The baptism entry for Jane Andrews is the first record for 1681 baptisms on the page:


The transcription of this record is:

"1673 Jane y'e CDaught[er] of Robt Andrews & Frances his wife Bapt'd March 27 1681"

The source citation is:

Staverton, Wiltshire, Church of England records, Jane Andrews baptism entry, 27 March 1681, daughter of Robert Andrews and wife Frances; imaged, "Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriage and Burials, 1531-1812," Ancestry.com  (https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61187/records/560228 : accessed 11 March 2026), Rushall  > Parish Registers > 1652-1725, image 14 of 34; Original records in Original data in Wiltshire Church of England Parish Registers, Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, Chippenham, Wiltshire, England.

Jane Andrews was born before 27 March 1681 in Rushall, Wiltshire, the daughter of Robert and Frances (--?--) Andrews.   She married Henry Rawlins (1673-1744) on 28 January 1705 in Wilsford, Wiltshire.  Jane died before 4 September 1757 when he was buried in Wootton 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.
