Merry,

Is that Sarah Boulter, died Gt Yarmouth 20 Feb 1821?

If so, she was too young to be the witness I haven't got her date of birth, but her husband was born in 1790 and they married in 1813.

OK, So, if the other branch were not Quakers, but one of them was at the birth then I can't think of another reason than being related. I'm trying to think who I have witnessing births on my Q certs. From memory they are either other Qs (related or not), the Dr and a woman who was a long term family servant, but wasn't a Quaker. (perhaps Sarah was a servant in her Q relative's household? That is certainly a possibility)

I hope you can work out how Sarah fits in.

Merry,
Many thanks for your time spent on my behalf.
I also really value your thoughts on this scenario.
(I've been looking for 20 years for documentation to confirm that 4 parallel nuclear families are all part of the same extended family. It's trying to get the balance right between saying "as yet,there's no evidence to confirm this" and
"this seems the most probable explanation as nothing has yet come to light to show ir couldn't be so."
