  • Quaker Family 1
    Quaker Family 1 Kelsall - A Quaker Family. Part I. Origins by Julia M Beedon For some three hundred years the family name Kelsall has been present within the Wyresdale, Quernmore, Dolphinholme, Bleasdale and Garstang areas. For a considerable part of this period the family maintained strong links with the Society of Friends, the Quakers, and appear th have been one of the original Quaker families in North Lancashire. From studying the family history of the Kelsalls it is apparent that the common ancestor of all Kelsalls known in this area was one Joseph Kelsall who was born in 1684 in the Covent Garden area of London. How he eventually came to settle in the Quernmore area is a rather interesting and complex story. Joseph Kelsall's father, John, was born in July 1650 near to the Delamere Forest in Cheshire. His family probably originated from the nearby village of Kelsall from which the surname is derived. John Kelsall was married twice, his first marriage to Hannah Leftwith of Staploe in Cheshire (1) took place in 1680 but she died soon after giving birth to her only son, John in 1681. The baby only lived for eleven days. John's second wife was Elizabeth Cragg (born 21 December 1660), the fourth child of Thomas Cragg and his wife Jennet (nee Townson) and a great-granddaughter of John Cragg, the first curate of Wyresdale Chapel (2). There is no clear eveidence of how John Kelsall met Elizabeth Cragg, but he may have been one of those Quakers who were approved travelling preachers.
