Did Quakers keep records of births and deaths, and thier locations in the 18th Centuary and, if so, how do I access them?

Hi Andrew and welcome to Rootschat.  :D

Yes, Quakers kept very good records of births, marriages and deaths/burials.

I'm not sure what area you're interested in, but have you tried this website:

http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk

It's a bit expensive to use but the actual search is free - you just have to pay to view the details. Usually, there is a bit more info than you usually find in most parish records.

Good luck.
