| Text | Discover more about the Quaker collection William Edmundson, the 'father of Irish Quakers', was the first Quaker in Ireland and opened the first meetinghouse in County Armagh in 1654. Edmundson converted to Quakerism in 1653 while posted in Chesterfield as part of the Parliamentary Army. He is also credited with the record keeping tradition that has resulted in such a prolific collection of births, marriages, and deaths. His marriage to Margaret Stanford is noted in these records. Their marriage year is listed as 1652 and Margaret's address is recorded as Derbyshire England. Edmundson's parents are listed as John and Grace, with their residence recorded as Westmoreland. The extensive Quaker records date back to the mid-1600s and continue up to present-day. At each monthly meeting, Quakers recorded births, marriages, and deaths, which has resulted in a rich collection to aid in researching your Quaker ancestors. | |
