William Henry Turner - the Grandfather I never met
Banbury Quakers - Where were they buried?
« on: Saturday 03 October 09 21:12 UTC (UK) »
We're on holiday from Yorkshire and staying just outside Banbury.
On a trip to the Oxford Record Office a couple of days ago, we discovered that my wifes' rellies, the Fardons, were Quakers back in the 17th & 18th centuries.
The quaker burial records give them as being buried in Banbury.
However, the current  meeting house doesn't appear to have a burial ground and we can find no record of such a place in Banbury.
Does anyone have any idea as to where the early burials may have taken place ?


Many thanks,

David.

I think Quaker Burial grounds were often away from their meeting houses.  There was one at Adderbury which is not far from Banbury but that may be a red herring

Thanks a lot for the reply, David.

We've checked out Adderbury, but the ancestors we are after are not there.

We'll keep looking!

Thanks again.

There is a Quaker burial ground at Sibford Gower, about 5 miles from Banbury. It is opposite and down the hill from a wonderful Cotswold pub called the Wykham Arms (the map on the pub website will help you find it: www.wykhamarms.co.uk/).

If you are still searching for info, I've probably got a contact number for one of the Friends who manages the burial ground, and might have a list of burials, but I don't want to post it publicly. I'm new to this site - is there a way to communicate 'offline'?

There is also a Quaker Boarding school at Sibford Ferris, the next village, where you might be able to find more information.
