Richard was a Non conformist , would some kind person be able to tell me where he was buried and if a head stone would be there as we have relatives that would like to visit from Australia

Born 20.2.1771 - parents Timothy & Jannat. The family were Quakers

Possibly buried at Lancaster Friends Meeting house but no obvious record found

Have you checked the Parish Churchyard? Every one living in a Parish had the right to burial in the churchyard regardless of religion or non religion. They were often buried in an unconsecrated section.

Burial;
Richard CRAGG

Age 76
Abode Langthwaite
Deceased a Farmer / Died 21 Apr 1847 / Buried at Lancaster / Witness William Ivison (Grave Maker) / Deceased not in Membership
Trish :)
EDIT;
Richard/Elizabeth childrens bapts are there also and also a likely Burial for TIMOTHY ;
1802 (Reg no 295)
It contains extra info;
Between 1772 and 1843 register number equates to location of the grave on the Lancaster Burial Ground Plan / Prior to 1818 burials are arranged in family groups so register number may assist in inferring family relationships.
+ JENNET Wife of Timothy Died 29 Jun 1823 age 83
Buried at Wyersdale / Deceased not a Member
Like a bit of scandal;
Timothy/Jenett bapt a THOMAS 22 Dec 1763;
Note; Parents not in Unity (ie not Married?) and mother's surname uncertain - Child's surname recorded as CRAGG and father's surname assumed
Marriage is on FreeREG also;
29 Jan 1763, St Mary the Priory, Lancaster
Jeanet ASHBURN of Garstang
Timothy CRAGG Husbandman
Lic.; Bride signed surname ASHBORN
So I wonder if as they married in that Church it was not recognised by the Quakers?
