Have been fighting a brick wall for ages with my Essex Marriage line.
Try putting 'Marriage' into a search engine. ;D
A recent discovery of a will, Francis Marriage 1702 shows the family were Quakers. I've never researched them before, so does anyone know how I can go about it, please?
Visit to TNA would not be easy for me.
Thanks

Quaker records are on Ancestry - should be available from your local reference library. There are a lot of Marriages in Essex there

Thanks Steve and Stan,
Just found a few on Ancestry and will also contact the Quaker FHS.
Ancestry never gave me results before, but using Card Index - Quaker records has.

I will be busy for ages now.

I am looking for Puplet family sometimes recorded as Puffett
They lived primarily at Essex. I have located some births on ancestry however I cannot find the births for two ancestors Robert Puplet/ Pufflet
First Robert born about 1746 and then his born about 1786.
Regards
Jennifer

Hello Jennifer
I have a large 606 page (small type) book about British Quakers in Commerce covering 1775 - 1920. Information back as far as 1720 to 1740 can sometimes be found.
It is in Alphabetical order, so no index and all (or virtually all) are men in business. There is nothing for your surname Puplet, Puffett or Pufflet, under Pu ...
It is a long shot, but can you provide the name and especially surname of the Mother for the one born about 1786?

Hello Jennifer
The nearest listing in the book is Merryweather, being John Merryweather (1757? - 1827) and John Merryweather (1780 - 1828).

Hello Geoff
I have a large book Biographical Dictionary of British Quakers in Commerce and Industry 1775 - 1920
Thirteen Marriage Quakers are mentioned spanning 1762 to 1948 and what seems to listed as sources in the majority are:-
H. M. Knight, A Tabular Version of a Genealogical Chart of the Marriage Family (1996)
---------
Also B. Williams, Quakers in Reigate (1980) for Charles Marriage (1812 - 1880)
E. Marriage & Son, Annals of One Hundred Years of Flour Milling [1940] for Edward Marriage (1814 - 1903)
J. Smith, Supplement to 'A Descriptive Catalogue of Friends Books' (1893), 243-4 for Francis Marriage (1809 - 1878)
K. Hall and C. Hall, Sidcot School Register ... 1808 - 1998 (2001), 117; Bootham School Register (1935), 256, for Sampson Percival Marriage (1880 - 1971)
B. Williams, Quakers in Reigate (1980); Bootham School Register (1935), 256 for Thomas Sydney Marriage (1853 - 1948)
Wilson Marriage (1842 - 1932) is mentioned in several of the above and The Friend (1932) xc.682; Minute of the Colchester MM [Monthly Meeting], in London YM [Yearly Meeting], (1933), 203-4
----------
According to 622203, Cpl. J. Dowdall, on the night of 12th/13th June 1940 an aircraft struck the premises of Marriage & Sons Flour Mill and crashed. Another report by 928 [Balloon] Squadron RAF Felixstowe refers to a British aircraft and East Anglia Flour Mills. The aircraft was a Hampden.
