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 confirmed place of burial for the Quakers.
I have searched the earlier non conformist records of the Quakers in Derbyshire where they survive and also after this date and I can find no other Births, Marriages or Deaths for the family.
Any ideas anyone?
thanks

Hello Paul,
I haven't explored very deeply but you may be able to find the answer on the Religious Society of Friends website: quaker.org/ (put www. in front). There is masses of information there.
Also, if you find that they were Quakers, then "My Ancestors Were Quakers" could also be of help.

Paul, you say you have searched, is that at the records office in Matlock?

Hi,
I have searched (from CD) Codnor breach meeting 1653-1712 Chesterfield meeting 1653-1712 Monyash 1645-1733 and Slack Hall meeting 1673- 1717,
I have not been able to get to the record office as I live a considerable distance away so the CD was the next best thing.
I found the initial record on the BMD site so ordered the CD thinking I might have found some of my elusive ancestors, just goes to show even when something seems obvious it still isnt !!

I would try Belper or Basford parish registers to see if they appears in those, just in case there is a record of their birth or even marriage.
