Tony, have you looked for VERNONs in Staffordshire parish records? FMP show a number of Randall/Randle, Robert and Thomas VERNON records of the period. They would seem to be connected but, to be sure, they need closer attention than I have time for this afternoon. Sorry. For background reading on Quakers in Cheshire look at Google Books here: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Quakers+in+Cheshire <https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Quakers+in+Cheshire&btnG=Search+Books&tbm =bks&tbo=1&gws_rd=ssl> &btnG=Search+Books&tbm=bks&tbo=1&gws_rd=ssl There are several that may be helpful.
