I'm very much interested in several British Quaker families, I think all
from Cumberland. Dates ranging from the 17th century to living memory.

Names include: Allason, Barn, Beeby, Glaister, Harris, Ostle, Pearson,
Robinson, Robson, Rogers, Saul, Stordy, Tomlinson, Williamson, Wilson.
Also, not definitely Quaker but associated with Quaker families: Steel,
Tiffin, Walker.

Further details at http://www.ianewilliamson.co.uk/gen/lines/index.html -
the website's a work in progress so do email me as well. I'd be interested
to hear from anyone with interests in these particular people or in
Cumberland Quakers generally. Anybody been working with the pedigrees of
James Gorton Brooker? (or typed/printed family trees from the 1930s of
unknown provenance? that was my first sight of one)
