Quaker Family History / 1700's Cheshire Quakers
« on: Thursday 21 January 21 17:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hello!
While researching my tree I discovered one of my ancestors was formerly a Quaker prior to her baptism into the Church of England on November 16, 1760 in Northenden, Cheshire. Her husband was John Wood. Their daughter, Mary, was baptized 4 days later.

There are only a few marriage records for a John Wood and a Mary in the Manchester/Stockport area within a 20 year period that would fit the bill. I'm wondering if I can possibly narrow down who this Mary was and find a surname for her in local Quaker records. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I should look?

Thanks!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Grasping at straws fourth line down on "Where born"
« on: Saturday 03 February 18 21:31 GMT (UK)  »
The fourth line down on "Where born" is supposedly the birthplace of my great grandmother. It has been indexed as "Manchester, Lancashire." She was a servant in this household. As far as I can tell from other records, she did not know her exact place of birth, as the only other place given never existed.

It looks to me as if her birthplace has been erased on this record, if that is possible in 1891. I don't know what the line or the markings on the line might mean. Does anyone here know? Would you consider her place of birth Manchester as well?

Thank you

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / "From Whence Admitted"
« on: Thursday 17 November 16 01:52 GMT (UK)  »
This is a Liverpool workhouse admission record for a person named Richards. This is in the column titled "From Whence Admitted." Most of the other entries have an address or a specific house name.
