Quaker Burials
1660 - 1768

These records of burial are found in the Brighouse Meeting House records held at the National Archives under reference RG6/1090.

There are many entries that do not give any location and only the burials with obvious connections to the Spen Valley have been shown here. Every attempt has been made to accurately transcribe these details and if possible you should check the details below against the original registers.

Please note that Quakers used numbers for the months and prior to 1752 the first month was March and the twelfth month was February.
