Birmingham library look ups

[claretaylor22]

I'm going to Birmingham Library on Saturday for a course on using parish records. (hope it is useful)

I will have time to do some look ups on the electrol roll or the probate calendar, if anyone wants me to to check something let me know

oh! I love Brum library.

Lots and lots of resources there, not just for Brum and Warwicks but for all over England and Wales.

[claretaylor22]

I'd be grateful if you could find out whether they have - or will be having - Quaker records there. I believe that some of my WARRs may have been Quakers. The reason I ask is that there was some mention along those lines when I visited Warwick RO a year or so ago... if I understood correctly.

I hope to visit myself eventually, and that would help my planning.

Had a great day, so much information so little time!;)

Already planning my next visit.

I did ask about Quaker records but the staff weren't sure. I am going to email them this week about something else so will throw the question in again and see if that gets a more definitive answer

[Christine in Herts]

Thank you, Clare.

I'm glad you had such a good time.

Central England Quakers - Bull Street

This may be of interest Christine if your Quaker links are central Birmingham.
Birmingham Library hold some Non-conformist records.

Thank you, Dave.

I'm not quite sure how many - or which bits - of the WARR family were Quakers, though I understand that at least some were. They lived in the Banbury area to start with, but some moved on to Coleshill (Congregationalists), and then into Birmingham.
I think the most likely candidates would have been the Banbury (South Newington / Neithrop / Wigginton / Swalcliffe) era ones: WARR, STRATFORD, GARDNER.
