Could this link help - it was from 1686 and altered in 1856.

 I thnik that this maybe  the correct place .I did   a little further  investigation this morning

I have just found that  there may be a list of burials there in  " Burials in the Quaker Burial Ground at Newton near Frodsham, 1658 to 1835. "published bt a Alan Taylor in 2003 .

Fingers crossed that my Neville family will be list in it

Many Thanks for your help .

Vonne,
Completely new to this, but noticed you had an interest in Cornthwaite`s of Caton.
My Great grandfather William Knowles CORNTHWAITE left Caton in 1865 for New Zealand.
His parents were Christopher K CORNTHWAITE and Margaret (nee BURTON).
 Siblings were Thomas,Michael,Margaret,Robert ,Elizabeth,John and Christopher.

Thanks

Hiya Vonne

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frodsham

go down to where it states Notes and read Note 3 ...a little snippet about Newton / Newton by Frodsham - there is a member on here from Frodsham - hopefully she will read this post and maybe give you some advice ..
good luck....as a last resort - I live right opposite Frosdham across the River Mersey in Garston...to get to Frodsham would take me 20 minutes by car ..my wife and I sometimes go to The Bears Paw pub for a Sunday lunch in Frodsham ...so - on a nice day , I could take a look around the burial site for you if you wish ...

added...the Quaker Family History Society has a section on Newton from 1668 - 1794

Thanks for letting me know .

Do you know other Quaker burial sites /records in the area ?

They lived at Tranmere /Parkgate  and were mariners

 From wills - I know that Frances Nevell died 13 December 1744  Chester  her son Edward Tyzack Nevell died 1748.

Thanks

just Googling Cheshire Quaker Burial grounds came up with some results, one in Burton on the Wirral,

Cheshire Records Office has  the records on Monthly meetings, this is where the Newton  transcripts came from.
