Quakers in Dorset
« on: Thursday 31 August 06 14:49 BST (UK) »
Is ther anywhere online that I can access Quaker record ?

I am having great difficulty in tracking my Way, Strong and Painter ancestors.  Rumour is we had Quakers who travelled from Bridport to Poole, and I wonder if ithis is the reason why I can't find them.  It is the Painters of Poole that I just cannot find anything but one marriage.  Emma Painter born abt 1838 in Poole, did marry Peter Way Sep 1867 at St James Church Poole.

I have found a Mary Way of Netherbury who married a prominent Mormon and they founded the 'Arizona Mormons'.  The rumour could have come from Netherbury.  I found Way's and Strongs living in Netherbury, who then moved to Bridport.  The problem is finding the link to more recent people.

So, I really would appreciate any help regarding Quakers.
