Forum: Non Conformist Records

I am looking for a photo of this chapel as my Gt Gt Grandfather John Edward WARREN was baptised there in 1837. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I believe it was demolished in 1867 so the chances are probably slim, but you never know!

I have scanned here to see if I can find the answer to my question - no luck but that might be poor scanning skills! I have a whole bunch of people who were non-conformists and whose births and deaths show up in the non-parochial BMDs. One at least was a Quaker but I think later on some became...

I'm trying to establish the age of a stone font which was installed in a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, severely damaged in the blitz in 1942. The font was recovered almost intact from the ruins and subsequently transferred to a new Methodist Church in the area (now undergoing major refurbishment)....

Thanks to a forum member who spotted my 'Who's Who in Methodism' thread I now have a copy of 'The Methodist Local Preachers' Who's Who 1934'. (Thanks again Hugh!!!) This is a very similar book to the 1933 book except that it's fatter! It contains the same sort of detail. There's also a short...

My ancestor Jane Ogilvie in 1806 married John Clarke, a trustee of the Athol St Congregational Church in Douglas. He was from Scotland, but she died in 1817, before I got any census info on her. One hunch: Could her dad be the John Ogilvie who was a Wesleyan minister posted to the Isle of Man in...

I have a William Edward Perry born 11/10/1820 in Reading. According to quaker records his 2nd marriage was to Eliza Everard 8/6/1867 Lambeth London I am unable to find a record of his 1st marriage and who was she? Would be grateful if anyone can help with this.

I have just today been looking through The Biographical Dictionary of Quakers in Industry and Commerce 1775-1920 by Edward Milligan. Definitely worth consulting if you have Quaker ancestors - might have saved me some work had I known about it a couple of years ago! I think it costs around...

Sarah Sargood, born abt 1759 married James Ring in 1787 in Beenham, Berkshire. From family search I found these possible parents for her; Joseph Sargood & Dinah Cooper or Benjamin Sargood & Elizabeth. Also, both of these candidates - Joseph and Benajmin - may be the sons of Joseph Sargood and...

I'm trying to trace my husband's g.g.grandfather Abraham Leach who was a New Connexion Minister in 1871. He appears on the census for that year as living in Bath, Somerset and his marriage certificate also for 1871 has the Percy Chapel, Bath down as the place where he was married. He appears...

Hi - I'd really appreciate some help/advice. I've been searching for months through local parish registers for 3marriages but can find no trace. I have the registration details from Free BMD but can't get any further. I know they must have married locally as all partners come from the area and they...

Good afternoon Would any kind soul out there know if the burial records for Bond Street Baptist Church in Birmingham for the period 1816-1837 are held anywhere other than Birmingham archives? Is there a CD I can purchase? I have searched IGI for death/burial of John Baker from 1817-1877 and...

Hi Ancestry has Non Conformist records on line now. but I don't have access Could some kind person please tell me what the record for Jessie Setterfield says ? Thank you Helen

Dear All I have just found a couple of rellies in on-line non-conformist registers and the collection is at Dr Williams Library which has been mentioned elsewhere on this forum. I followed Pam's previous link on this. What I don't know is where/if these children were baptised and what their...

I have a few ancestors who I just cannot find trace of on records. I was reading a book on genealogy a while ago and it indicated that Non-conformists/quakers had separate records. Is this accurate or have I mis-interpreted it? If so how do I go about checking the records to see if my ancestors...

How can you tell what Non conformist religion someone was? I have the parish register entry for an ancestor's baptism (So I presume not a Baptist as they don't beleive in child baptisms) that leaves quite a few to choose from, are there any clues???? thanks sindylin

Hi just wondering if anyone can help, Does anyone know if an ancestor was buried in a Quaker burial ground would they have been a Quaker? It sounds a silly question but the only record of my particular family is that of two burials of two daughters in Codnor Breach in 1704 and 1706, this is a...

I have just looked on the non-conformists site for BMD and spotted a few of my lot, but I need a sub to access the records. Could some kind soul look them up for me. If you need credits for this, then I apologise for asking - don't want someone to use them up for me. Dudfield Benjamin 1783...

I used to know but cannot remember... when an individual is mentioned as a kinsman on a record (in this case a 1675 Quaker marriage, though much more common in wills) what is their relationship to the main person in the record? is it nephew? I just can't quite recall.
