Original Methodist Register not seen, Mark

[Comberton]

Leeds Intelligencer, 19 Aug 1811 seems to be the same couple and she is named Martha.
FindMyPast has transcriptions of the marriage.

Robert Fawcett, the Quaker marrying in a Methodist Chapel interested me. Mark

Interesting analysis amondg.
 ----------
Marion, a daughter of a brother in my direct family line, was a Quaker and she married in a C of E service and the Quaker Minutes said a Testimony of Denial was made against her.

Comberton mentioned f m p and Robert Fawcett's address in the full transcription was Hill Top Shelf Halifax (online map - Shelf is near Stone Chair Roundabout).

On the Quaker Certificate to 'Make a Grave', it gives his address as Hill Top in Shelf in the Parish of Halifax, 60 years.

amondg, it does look to be the same man.

On the same Quaker Certificate it says "Not in Membership".

If he was a Quaker member at marriage, he wasn't at his Quaker burial.

One of my ancestor's applied to be a Member, but refused, as conscientious but not quite ready. Quakers buried him as 'Not in Membership'.
