Quakers in Wales

Question

As some of you may recall, I have created on WikiTree a set of county-by-county pages for information and resources for English Quakers. You can find an index at https://www.wikitree.com/…/Space:Quakers_in_England:_County…. Suggestions of corrections and additions are extremely welcome.

I’d like to start on a similar page or pages for Wales. I would be glad of any information people have about names of monthly meetings (and dates when they started or ceased), Quaker burial grounds, useful websites, and helpful articles and books. Please message me, or respond here, with any information you have, even if you think I am bound to know of it already. (But I do know about the Wales chapter in Besse’s Sufferings of Early Quakers.) Thanks!

Michael, just a note of appreciation for working on this. There are often many challenges in working with our Welsh Quaker heritage.

I have Welsh Quaker ancestors too.  Thanks Michael for putting this together!

I have now created a page - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Quakers_in_Wales. Additions and corrections welcome!

Nice work. Will there be associated categories as well?

Thanks, Jillaine. The Quakers Project will want to create categories for Welsh Monthly Meetings and for Welsh Friends Burial Grounds as they are needed, in the way we are doing for English Quakers. We have an umbrella category ready for Monthly Meetings, and what is in effect a maintenance category for Welsh Quakers not assigned to a monthly meeting. Work on Welsh Quakers is in general less advanced on WT than work on English Quakers.

Hi, Michael -- I just inadvertently created a new question with the same title, trying to sort out the origins of Richard Owings of Maryland.  Please take a look and see if you have anything that might help!  Thanks.

Thanks for the heads-up, Jack. I am afraid no immediate inspiration occurs to me. I have had a quick look at a few standard Quaker sources for Wales.
