"What you have been reading was the 'norm' at the time.
Just imagine you take a fancy to a non Quaker girl, and decide to get wed in the local church.
WRONG! The gentleman gets drummed out of the Quaker movement and is ostracised from all connection with the movement. (Not even other family members are allowed to liaise with you.)
 Brian"

Sorry to chip in but I didn't realise Quakers behaved like that so I was a little shocked to read it.

My maternal great grandmother converted to the Quaker religion but my great grandfather didn't nor did their children, in fact one of the sons, my grandfather, became a lay preacher in the Primitive Methodist lot.  Now it's got me wondering if her conversion caused any disharmony in the family, no gossip of the like has been handed down.  I do know she tried to get her daughter in law, my grandmother, interested which failed.

One of my recently found Gunn (Essex) ancestors was brought up in the Quaker Religion but she  married a non Quaker in a C of E ceremony and the children were baptised C of E.

Thanks for that insight into the Quakers.
Concentrating currently on:
Essex: Card, Harris, Stowell, Theobald/Tibbles & Turner.
Norfolk: Beale, Cork & Dalton.
Yorkshire: Oswald Sturdy birth/baptism c1708, Oswald where the devil are you?

I'm not from England, so I don't know what kind of records there are over there. But I appreciate any ideas & advice.

That first link didn't take me anywhere, the hearth one. Just a blank error page. And I've tried the other one before.

Hi James

Apologies for duff website address.  Google West Riding Hearth Tax 1672, use the surname index, and then you will need a map of West Riding Wapentakes to see where folk lived.  There are fewer Bonds than I anticipated.

The clue is in the title, people were taxed on the number of hearths in their homes, so the larger the number of hearths the bigger the house and the greater the tax. 

Before this there are the lay subsidy rolls (poll tax) for yorkshire 1379.

Thanks guys, I'll try those suggestions.

I've seen places where his parents names are James & Judith Bond. I can't confirm it though, due to lack of baptism or marriage records. What are the chances his family were puritan (parents & any siblings) before the Quaker faith was founded? Thought I might find something if they were Anglican or Catholic, but I haven't.

I looked & found one James Bond (only spelling of the last name) and found him living in Agbrigg & Morley. It's said he lived in Bradford/Bowling. Where were the places in regard to Agbrigg & Morley?

The distance between Bowling (Bradford) and Morley (Agbrigg) is about 4miles (as the crow flies).

Good place to start to give you some idea of where a location is and how far away from other villages.

Brian, do you know how I can find or download the PDF pamphlet you said you had via dropbox? I downloaded it before but can't remember how I found it unless I downloaded it via your link somehow. Can you post it again? "The Society of Friends in Bradford" I think it was. Think I got rid of it after getting all the Bond info from it. I've since learned of new info I'd like to confirm with the book/pamphlet.
