Penney family from Poole 1700s - 1800s

Hi

I am currently researching the Penney family from Poole for a client in Canada and have found various links to shipbuilding and Quakerism.  One of his 4x gr grandfathers emigrated to Newfoundland.  Just wondering if anyone has researched this family and knows of any useful websites, archives or books with any information about this family.  What I have found so far, they seem an interesting family!

Thank you

Kerry

Have you checked Ancestry for any Trees on the family?

Hi Carole

Thank you, yes Ancestry and other subscription sites covered for the tree building, which is where I am seeing rumours of something interesting.

Thank you Hanes teulu, that is interesting, Neaves is one of the other families having children registered in the book of the Quaker meeting in Poole at the same time as the Penneys.

Thank you amondg

I did look at the newspapers on Findmypast but most were for what must be another part of the family in Sherborne rather than in Poole and not the direct line I am looking at.    Some of them were interesting though and had me going down a few rabbit holes!  LOL  Mind you I found a few relevant articles when I opened up the search beyond just Dorset.
