    Have you been out to the Quaker library in Rathfarnham? They are open on Thursdays to researchers - it's volunteer-run and really helpful.

    Their records are excellent and if a branch of your family joined the Society of Friends, you can be almost guaranteed information on them.

    Yes I have. Thanks. Believe Rebecca Wright left friends to marry James, later generations were definitely Weslian/Methodist as on census. Recently spoke to the local Methodist minister, and he said that they had no graveyards of their own, hence Ballitore
