Annual Monitor

The Annual monitor is a list of British Quakers who died each year, between 1812 and 1919, including well over 20,000 persons.

Some entries have a "memorial" (sometimes of several pages) giving biographical detail and a strong religious message.

The first issue was published in York by William Alexander (1768-1841), who was editor between 1813 and 1819.

The project was initiated by William's wife, Ann Alexander (born Tuke, 1767-1849).
