Quaker records Berkshire/Oxford border
« on: Monday 01 January 07 16:36 GMT (UK) »
I am not sure if this area is covered by Reading or Oxford Record Office so although I have posted on Berkshire I am trying here as well.
I wonder if anyone can help with this small problem
I have got one line back to John and Jane BUNCE who had 7 children between 1720 and 1731 all christened in Stanford in the Vale Berkshire.(One being a Daniel)
I have not found either a marriage or Birth/Baptism for John so have not found a maiden name for Jane BUT...
There is information on Daniel BUNCE of nearby Charney Bassett imprisoned for refusing to pay towards Church repairs and for not having his children(not named baptised because he was a QUAKER In The Magazine for Oxford and again his name is listed in Church Warden's accounts for Stanford in the Vale for1671,1683 1an 1695 as Daniel BUNCE of Goosey for not paying church dues.
I suspect this Daniel could well be the father of John but how can I prove it?
Do/did Quaker's register the names of their children in any way-was there a naming ceremony?
Where would such records be held?
Has anyone else come across this family?
Hope you can help

Thanks for the link. As John and Jane  have their children Baptised I am not 100% sure that they are Quakers but finding the information about the Daniel BUNCE makes me a bit curious as I can't find any John baptisms or marriages in a reasonable area to Stanford in the Vale.
