I may be able to answer this, at least in part, as I have substantial notes on this family. Unfortunately I am away from home this week so cannot access them and reply properly until next week. They are cousins of a prominent Quaker family who later moved from this area to Leicester and with whom my ancestors have connections. They are well recorded.

From memory I think the Quaker meeting at "Woodhouse" was at Wentworth? Woodhouse.

Someone else may be able to give you a better answer in the meantime.

Subject: [yorksgen] Quaker records for WOODHOUSE on Find My Past

?

I’ve been looking at some early 18^th century Quaker records for Balby MM, In particular at Francis ELLIS who married a Ann WILSON in 1711 & their children (7). From the marriage record Francis was from Dinnington (Yorkshire) & Ann was from Alverton (Derbyshire. Birth records do not show a location of birth!

?

These records are from “Woodhouse” and my question is which Woodhouse as there appear to be several in the Yorkshire / Nottinghamshire areas. One near Sheffield which may be the ones shown on Pages headed “Sheffield” there is another at “Wentworth Woodhouse” and then there in one near Mansfield.

?

I am trying to see if this family are connected to my Ancestry as Francis & Ann had a Son. William in 1734 who could be the William ELLIS who worked as a Woodman at Wentworth.

?

Does anyone have any further information on this?

?

Thanks for looking
