Hello all! I am following this thread with interest. I am also new to this list and new to research on the Quaker religion. I have ancestors who are registered on censuses as "Quaker" yet other family members are listed as "Methodist" or even "Christian". I have instances where even the husband and wife are not both listed as Quaker. Now how would this relate to disownment? How could one family member retain ties to the Quaker community while a spouse or children are affiliated elsewhere? This is in Upper Canada in the mid 1800's (now Ontario), perhaps well away from easily accessible MM's? Thoughts? Cheers! Colin

I was looking at Canadian Ontario quaker records from that time and it appears that when the 1829 split occurred the orthodox meetings continued to have the Hicksite members children "under the care of their meeting" The famiies I was looking at also had Orthodox and Hicksite Quakers marrying in a church ceremony but then later were again active Quakers. They were certainly isolated but seemed to travel to MMs Brylin On 12/01/2009, at 6:54 AM, Colin Kenneday wrote: > Hello all! > > I am following this thread with interest.
