William Bayly/Bailey, born in Ringwood 1621, a Baptist teacher converted to the Quakers most likely made trips to Newfoundland. Most certainly his wife, Mary Fisher, did. She also delivered the word in New England and even went to Turkey. At Cambridge she was stripped to the waist and publically whipped. For the most part, when they were not travelling, Poole was their home but William died at age 95 in London. Any information about the Poole-Ringwood Quaker meetings is sought.

Mary Fisher, together with Ann Austin actually visited Barbados in 1655. We have just restored the Cliff Burial Ground in St. Philip parish. It contains eight family vaults carved into the coral 'cliff' and visitors can now see a lead coffin in one of the vaults. It was used between 1670 and 1792. Have you tried research at the Society of Friends Library in Euston Road, London? They have kept comprehensive records since 1654 and their library was founded in 1673.
