Hi Stephen,
Have got more detailed info on this couple? I can't see them anywhere in Wilts at the moment.
On the IGI (FamilySearch) Susannah Finch Richards is shown as being baptised to John & Sarah on10-1-1813 in Horsledown, Surrey.

Agree with Alan. Susannah Finch Richards appears to have been born in Horselydown,Southwark,in 1813 to John And Sarah. The family also appear to have been Quaker.

Hi Stephen,
As yet,no,and it may be difficult as John and Sarah were quakers. The Birth Date given for Susannah is not the day she was born but the day she was accepted into the quaker group at a quarterly meeting(QM). Quakers don't practise water baptism like Christians. Many quaker records were kept very privately due to previous persecution of non-conformists. They also have no paid vicars or priests. I know little about them (they are known as the Society of Friends) but I believe you may be able to check with the Library of the Society of Friends in Britain's website at www.quaker.org.uk/library in the Euston Road, London. They have the London and Middlesex BMDs but you would have to employ a genealogist if you can't get there yourself as they do not carry out research requests.
I'll keep looking.
Regards,
Linda

I'm not sure whether you have any of Susannah's siblings? I've found the following, all of them accepted into the Quaker Society of Friends at quarterly meetings in Horselydown,Southwark:-
Sophia and Maria - Birth Dates (i.e. baptisms) - 02 Oct 1808
Sarah - BD - 08 Apr 1810
Hannah - BD - 07 Oct 1811
Mary Proud - BD - 07 Jun 1814

Hi Linda
Thank you for all your help, I didn't know that my 4th great grandparents were Quakers, were they allow to marry outside of their religion, Susannah married James Neal was he a Quaker as well. No I didn't have any of Susannah's siblings thank you for all that.
Thank you again

Hi Stephen,
Quakers are allowed to marry outside their religion,I believe. As I said, I don't know a lot about them,but I believe that they are not one of the fire and brimstone brigade. Do you have any provenance or dates for James Neal,please? It may make searching simpler.

Hi Linda
Ok....Yes I have some info for James Neal 2nd March 1800 in Sherston-Magna, Wiltshire, England and died 17th March 1872 Hobart, Tasmania. Would you have any info on his parents, William Neal and Sarah Rice. I think Neal is being spelt different ways, Neal, Neale, Neall, Neill. I think these are his parents.
Thank you
Stephen
