London Quakers
« on: Friday 02 October 15 20:26 BST (UK) »
Are there any baptism or marriage records online for London/Southwark Quakers?

Several sites have burials and show a surname I am researching so I'm trying to discover more information.

The records have been deposited with the Friends Library

http://old.quaker.org.uk/library

They aren't online after 1837. Births and marriages after that date should be found in the GRO indexes.

Thank you.  I will investigate the Friends Library.

I'm looking for records 1700-50.

All the Quaker BMDs pre-1837 are online at Ancestry (and note it is is births, not baptisms, which Quakers didn't do.)

Even easier, unless you want to see original images: the Quaker Family History Society http://qfhs.co.uk/index.html has published a digital transcript of the digest registers for the whole of London and Middlesex on CD.

Thank you for that piece of information.   :)

Sadly the baptism I'm looking for isn't there.  :(

I've been looking at these on-line records.

I'm researching the VAUS family in London/Southwark.

All the records are burials.  There are no births.

Would any children have been baptised in C of E churches? (not that I've found any there either  :(  )

Only if the parents weren't Quakers at the time - though they could have joined the Society of Friends later.

When I enter 'Vaus' in the search box it comes up with 31 entries. These include 9 births, but of variant spellings. Some of these could be relevant.

The earliest Vaus burial entries are all for people born before the start of Quakerism (usually taken as 1652). So you wouldn't expect to find their births in Quaker records (though sometimes these are recorded retrospectively).
