Month of Sarah Fisher's birth
« on: Sunday 02 June 13 02:46 BST (UK) »
Hi

The attached record is a snapshot from records of the Religious Society of Friends and I am hoping forum members will be able to determine the month of Sarah's birth please!

In case you aren't aware, because before 1753 the calendar year began in March, the eleventh month of 1681 in a Quaker's calendar would be January 1682 in modern style dating. Quakers preferred to use numbered months rather than month names derived from pagan gods.
