This could be her burial register entry, though indeed there were other Marys in the parish who had the surname Adams by birth or marriage. This one appears to be single and we had no husband for ours.

The record shows the name as Philip but the gender as female. I have seen this in other records and the child's name is Phillipa. I am making this change here.

220816:
Courtesy of Bill Full, from the Find My Past website: The burial record reads: "[1707] March 5 Richard Adams Junr." The designation Junr. is in contention. Bill Full believes it reads Senr. and I agree that it could. But it doesn't make sense because the senior Richard Adams would be 89 - extremely old for those years. Also not that Mary [Mory] Adams was buried on April 6 1707 on the same page and in the same hand she is shown as the wife of Richard Adams Junr which looks the same as the suffix on Richard Adams burial record.
