My seventh Great Grandfather Robert Longshore lived in Lancashire before coming to America in the 1680s. Rumor has it he attended Oxford at the same time William Penn did. He came to America to escape persecution for being a Quaker. I don't know if he sailed with William Penn or came on an other ship. As yet I have not been able to fine his name listed on a ships manifest. Robert Longshore was Deputy Surveyor General of Pennsylvania helping to lay out the city of Philadelphia and establish Pennsylvania. Robert Longshore and Margaret Petersdaughter Cock were married and had two children, Alice (Elsa) Longshore and Euclydes Longshore. Robert died in 1695. Although I have documentation establishing the Longshore line from myself to Robert Longshore I have not been able to discover who his ancestors were. The name Longshore seems to disappear at the waters edge. There is an unsubstantiated story that the name Longshore was actually Langshaw or Longshaw and that the family lived in Wigan, Lancashire. Can anyone tell me the best way to find a link between Robert Longshore of Pennsylvania and Robert Langshaw of Wigan, Lancashire. Thank you very much for any help or advice. Peggy Longshore Vonk

Try http://www.extraaccount.fsnet.co.uk/ then choose Surnames, Then choose Burton and scroll down for John 1768. Click on the Question Mark by his father and 'Other Spouse' to see children of the first marriage. For the Will try looking under http://www.sleepyfrog.com/me/herbertfa/index.html then under Wills then John is the second one down. I love that bit about 'liberty to drive sheep upon occasion at any time between the fifth of September and the middle of April through a Close called Little Intack to my son Richard for ever'. Did you inherit that right perhaps? By the way, it mentions Joshua Binns but I believe it is Joseph Binns. Don't know if the error is in Transcription or in the actual Will. No reply to my e-mail yet. I'll respond to the rest later, I've got to go out now.

I am the coordinator of the Quaker FHS project to index the Digests of birth, marriage and burial. In fact what we have published for Suffolk, Norfolk and (imminently) Essex is a full transcription, as is the work so far done for London & Middlesex. Publication of images of the original registers would certainly be valuable but they are of course with TNA. Images of the Digests would, to my mind, be less valuable and would definitely need indexes. The work is being done by volunteers (all too few of them, unfortunately) mainly at home. The method is to get photocopies of the Digest pages from microfilm and the entries are then transcribed onto computer by one volunteer, the results are then printed out and sent to another volunteer who checks them against the photocopies. The remaining queries are then resolved by reference to the actual Digest books (which are not available to researchers) at Friends House Library. Then it is a matter of compiling the CD, so far one for each Quarterly Meeting. The concept is that when all of them are complete one combined index will be compiled, but it will be many years before that can be thought of. At present I have fewer volunteers who are prepared to input the Digest entries to computer than to carry out the checking. The input of London & Middlesex births and marriages is complete but there remains a lot to be done on burials. In some ways they are more interesting than you might think as until a fairly late date (we are talking about the 1600s up to 1837) the London & Middlesex Digests usually give a cause of death, perhaps guesswork in at least some cases. Is that something you would be willing to help with? All that's needed is a little time, a computer (which you evidently have) and a spreadsheet. A magnifying glass can be helpful. As I am quite near Bristol myself (Portishead) we could have a chat about it quite easily, by phone (01275 845113) or otherwise. Howard

No worries Cornelia, We do understand your frustration with the CD wait. I think the marriage intentions are recorded in the Monthly Meeting (MM) minutes. They certainly were for my family up North. Some of these are available on film via the Mormon Family History Centres. I understand they have to be ordered in advance. Was that the case for you? An odd 1 or 2 (MM minutes) for very limited years were published by various people or Record Societies, often early records. Margaret

Thank you Margaret for sending those details. I tried World Connect but couldn't get further than Capstick for some reason - how do you go on to BURTON once you get to Capstick? Am I being dense or something ? You mention that there is a will too, of John's grandfather. I would be interested to see any details of his grandfather's will or where I could find it. I don't suppose it would be a PCC will,would it? I guess York would be more likely. Because I am within easy reach of London, it would not be be difficult to visit the Friends House in London. However, I am not familiar with how one would gain access to the records there. Do you have to make an appointment, for example, or is there open access similar to the FRC? Vanessa mentioned seeing a John BURTON in the 1841 census with two sons William & David. Have you come across this too? I would like to know the census place he was at in order to follow this up. I know that in 1881 his son James [always assuming there is a relationship, of course] was 70 and living in Rawtenstall the place the where the census says he was also born. That would be 1811 presumably. And also, presumably, where John would have been living too at that time. So John, one might think, would be also be there in 1841. Just wondered if someone would be able to tell me if my reasoning is correct - better still if someone has a reference! I mentioned in an earlier message that as John died in 1853 I should be able to find him on the 1851 census. I haven't access to either census at the moment but hope to check them out in the future, unless someone has already done that! What should be on those census records is the place of birth (pace - I realize the 1841 can only tell me in/out of county) and this together with an age in each should help to clarify whether we are talking about the same John BURTON, Following on Margaret, I will be interested in what response you get to the e-mail mentioned above.

I would be grateful for any information on Thomas Weedon born in 1737 at Cashie Bridge, Rickmansworth (son of Samuel Weedon and Mary Dann). A settlement certificate by the Overseers of the Poor of Watford was given to him and his wife Sarah in July 29, 1756. Children of Thomas and Sarah: Stephen b. 23 Aug 1758, Joseph baptised 14 October 1759 and Sarah baptised October 14, 1761. Many thanks Barbara Jefford

Thanks for offering Eleanor, Looks like we have a list now! I'd better get on sorting the CD out ! We do currently have a problem with overseas payments with the high bank charges doubling the cost.

I do understand, Margaret. I hope my comments weren't taken harshly. I wasn't complaining, just stating my experience and that we'd have to be patient. I regret that the cd's aren't scans of the originals. I'd like another chance to look for John Freeman's and Susannah Rayner's marriage intention, but that won't be possible without the actual records. I cannot possibly afford to order all the records again...not to mention the trouble I have with the fhc in my new hometown...maybe some day. I'm in Oregon, U.S.A., so I can't be of much help, I'm afraid, unless something specific can be done by Americans. I'm familiar with the digests and the original documents, having two large Quaker branches in my tree-the Cross's of Woodbridge, Colchester and onwards, and the Harris's of Fordingbridge, later of London, Middlesex and Surrey. I've spent many years gathering members to my tree in and out of the faith. I'm not finished, and it grows a little every month thanks to various websites and frequent research by me and a number of other researchers. those areas have received my most intense research, but individuals have wandered many different directions, though most of those are members who left the faith. regards, Cornelia -- Norton Antivirus protected ----- Original Message ----- From: "J Margaret Page" <pagekidder@hotmail.com> To: <QUAKER-BRITISH-ISLES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 12:01 PM Subject: Re: [Q-B-I] Quaker cd's > Cornelia, > You only have me to blame for the Essex CD not getting out faster.

Liane, Just a quick reply that others can perhaps answer more fully. As mentioned earlier the Digests are explained on the Society website www.qfhs.co.uk then go to Research Then go to Digests of Births, Marriages and Burials. Please excuse me not typing it all again. They are an important source of pre 1837 data for Quaker family historians. The Digests were produced by Quarterly Meeting as they were at the time of production as explained on the website. Removal Certificates aren't in the Digests. The CDs contain data transcribed from the Digests with minor loss of detail. The original records contain more detail than the Digests.

Could someone please explain a little more about these CDs? I assume they are meeting records for each county - does this include the different types of meetings? Including the certificates of removal or good standing that were obtained to transfer to another meeting? Everything available? Do they start at the beginning and go up until when??? I have spent a lot of time reading these records on microfilm and this sounds like a wonderful idea.

Some went to Sidcot school (which unfortunately means very >little to me). Nine children of Isaac Parsons and Mary Bagwell did go to Sidcot School (as I did, but not quite so long ago), the eighth being Ann Metford Parsons (1821 - 1847) who married Thomas Gregory. The school was founded in 1808, shortly before the eldest child (Isaac) was born, and is still going strong. Only two of the children had middle names and Ann was the only one whose middle name looks like a surname, almost certainly from an earlier generation but the Sidcot School register gives no more than the names of the parents. It would be worth looking at the Bristol & Somerset Quarterly Meeting Digest of marriages for the marriage of the parents (if not already done). >A long line of METFORD in Taunton and Glastonbury (lots of them!)

A James Clothier was one of the earliest pupils at Sidcot, going there in 1809. But no Metfords at all. Howard M. Knight, near Bristol, UK
