Quaker Burials In Bradford
« on: Friday 04 September 15 13:49 BST (UK) »
I have a couple Quaker ancestors whose deaths in the early 1700's were recorded by Bradford Quaker Meeting. It doesn't say where in Bradford, so where would they have been buried, what cemetery? Does Bradford Quaker Meeting have its own? Any help appreciated.

I have a lot of documentation on the Quakers of Bradford.
Care to post a few names up and I will check.

Thanks Brian. I'd very much welcome that. Here's some names: James & Anne Bond (died 1721 & 1717) and Thomas Bond (died 1702). James & Anne are my ancestors. Not sure about Thomas, but they all loved in Bradford & are the only Bonds I can find having anything to do with Bradford.

Are you using a computer rather than a phone/tablet to post here?
Reason being I have the Quaker history as a booklet (pdf format) which I could enable you to download and save.
[Your Bond family were recorded in Tong village, as was some of mine]

Tong? I've come across that name but never gave it much thought. I know they were Quaker though. Yes, I'm using an android iPhone, its capable of downloading PDF documents. I don't have a computer, crashed sometime last year.

You don't have enough space to store that much information (27Mb needed) :o
Regarding Tong though, couple of hundred records noted for various Bond named people!
www.calverleyinfo.com Visit to get info you need.
[Click onto enter, look on your left for Vital Records Search, click onto search and enter Bond into surname box then press search.
Might be some time tomorrow before you have read all the Bond information! :) :)

For family groups in Tong click onto Tong census records, pressing CTRL +F brings up a search box which you enter Bond then press down/up key to view all Bond named people. :) :)

I might've been able to download that. Who knows for sure. See anything in particular about my James? Lived from 1642-1721, Yorkshire. I'll check out that website. I can only only go back as far as James. Trying to find info on his parents, but can't find anything. Any idea who I could contact about him or where to look? Thanks again for your help.

James married a Martha Yewdall, too much for him as he died shortly after. :o

It downloaded just fine. Looking over it, trying to find mentions of James, of which I found two so far. I read on another website about him being in some trouble & ultimately being imprisoned. Seemed like quite the rebel. Didn't pay tithes, didn't accept the role of constable, etc. Probably in compliance with the Quaker faith.
