~• my own question: Were there many known Quakers in Ireland of the same era who were from Warwickshire?

part of the reason I am braodening my serach for early albersons is that I cannot find any in Ireland for the era of this WIllaim alberson or before. This leads me to guess that William may have come from England, as so many other "Irish'" Quakers did after the English Civil War. {MMvB 2019}

Thomas Alberson of Bidford-on-Avon

Thomas Alberson of Bidford-on-Avon might be the brother of William Alberson of Castledermot.

I am also studying any possible connection to the Isle of Man Quakers and the possibility that William came into Quakerism from another Non-Conforming sect...

"although in many ways a conservative, George Fox did not have unrivalled prominence in the movement of the 1650s, particularly whilst a faction of wealthier Quakers rejected many of Fox's tenets .298 The Quakers case was further hindered by the fact that Ranters, a sect widely condemned as sexual libertines and denounced by Puritan leaders in the 1650s for their rejection of the rule of law, became influential Quaker converts.299 Many Levellers, a republican and democratic faction, also became Quakers in the 1660s and 70s.301 Whether Quakers were the biggest threat to social order in the late 1650s was of less consequence than the fact many believed them to be."' As restoration of monarchy was threatened, many Quakers rejoined the army from which they had been expelled because of their reluctance to accept military discipline."
~• from: http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/parishes/nc/quakerp.htm

and later: "the high number of Anabaptists and Levellers in its ranks and later those officers and 'rank and file' who turned Quaker, notably amongst the garrisons stationed in Ireland." >This brings up a possibility that William Alberson may have been one such English soldier who became garrisoned on Irish soil and then defected from straight Church of England governance.

It remains of interest that William's 1st daughter Ann née Sharples married a Manx Quaker : John Kaighn, III

(same text) > in discussing "Dublin between 1681 and 1686 .318 At this time, Dublin had a large Quaker community of over 200 families, among them many prominent merchants .319"

This book: " is intended as a contribution to a general understanding of the Civil War, rather than as a study of one particular county." and as such may contribute to an understanding of William's life as a soldier, should he be eventually shown to have followed that course in his early life.
