My Quaker ancestors are very few compared with the rest of you but here goes:- Sarah Gill, born 1800 is my earliest known Quaker ancestor - she was my gt gt gt grandmother, born in Crawshawbooth, Lancs. She became a Member by Convincement in 1867 (Marsden Monthly Meeting) unlike her brother John Gill who was refused. Interestingly her mother - Mary Gill, nee Smith like Sarah, is buried in the Quaker Burial Ground at Crawshawbooth, and father, Thomas Gill is buried in a local CofE Church, but I haven't been able to ascertain any link for Mary as to whether she was a Quaker unlike Sarah where I have the evidence. My gt gt grandmother - Hannah Gill, born about 1823 was a known supporter of the Quaker Movement in Crawshawbooth though not a Quaker herself. Hannah was illegitimate being born in Preston and I wonder whether Sarah was forced to flee to Preston to have Hannah and then returned again to Crawshawbooth. Hannah's father was Edmund Pilling, a Weaver and that's all I know about him. I haven't been able to find any details of Hannah's baptism as yet. There are also several Gills buried in the Quaker Burial Ground - all part of my Gill family but not, I think, Quakers, so not sure whether I should mention them here. As they were buried in the Quaker Burial Ground does this mean that they would have attended the Meeting but not necessarily Quakers and would this fact alone enable them to be buried in Quaker Ground ?? Perhaps someone could answer this for me or proffer an opinion. Regards, Sue
