Here we go with controversy. I found the original information for George's and Gertrude's christening in the Auckland St Andrew parish. However, according to the Book North Country Diaries by JC Hodgson, Charles Wren's daughter Gertrude was a nun.
Gertude Wren listed below might not be the right woman. I need to find the original marriage record. The fact I found both George and Gertrude together in the same Parish is a good and bad thing. This information came from a Family Group Sheet if I remember right, so there is a likelihood that it is not correct.
George Trotter
Christened 7 Jun 1607 Auckland St Andrew, Durham, England

“William Trotter was the son of William Trotter, and was born in the neighbourhood of Abington, fourth month, 1695. His memorial says: ‘Of religious parents, and amongst Friends was educated. As he grew in years, he was blessed in that he grew in grace, and in the fear and knowledge of our blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. About the twenty-first year of his age, he received a gift in the ministry, in which he as frequently exercised during the course of his life. His ministry was sound and savoury, attended with a good degree of that life and power by which the dead are raised, and without which preaching is vain. He was not tedious or burthensome, but often very reaching and edifying to her hearers.’
“He removed to the neighbourhood of Plymouth, towards the close of 1721, taking a certificate from Abington to Gwynedd Monthly Meeting in the first month following. Here he soon became extensively useful in religious Society, and continued active and laborious for the good of others until within a short time of his death.
“His friends thus characterize him: ‘in his life and conversation he was grave, yet innocent, cheerful, and, we think, strictly just in his dealings; also a lover and promoter of peace and unity and brotherly love amongst Friends, of which he was himself a good pattern. He was generally beloved during his life, and at his death left a good savour behind him. His removal from time to a happy eternity, though certainly his great gain was a considerable loss to the meeting where he belonged. He departed this life on the 19th day of Tenth month, 1749; aged about 53 years and 6 months, and was decently interred on the 21st day of the same month, in Friends’ burying-ground at Plymouth. We believe he is gone from his laborious service, to receive an heavenly reward “where the wicked shall cease from troubling, and the weary soul shall be at rest.”’
