In the US, we have available both online and in libraries, volumes of data taken from Quaker records. The Quakers kept meticulous records at a time when civil registration of marriages or births didn't occur as a rule.

I'm looking for such a source of records for English Quakers in an effort to trace my ancestor, George Burson, who is said to have emigrated from Scarborough, Yorkshire (although no trace can be found of him there). My guess is that he passed through there during a period when the Quakers were on the move due to religious persecution. I know that he became a member of Abington Monthly Meeting of Friends after his emigration, in about 1684. He died at Gilbert's Manor, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania in late 1715 or early 1716.

Naturally, I would hope that any English Quaker records might be searchable via the web, but would be grateful to receive any information about printed records wherein I might find help in tracing him.
