Sons of Wesleyan Methodist preachers

Wesleyan Methodist preachers' travel expenses
(1807-1808) Major expenses incurred by Wesleyan Methodist preachers and reimbursed by the church are detailed in the annual accounts. The great majority of these expenses are the costs of moving to and between circuits, and give an indication of where a preacher has come from. There are also some items relating to serious illnesses and funerals.SIMPSON. Cost: £6.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Wesleyan Methodist preachers' wives
(1807-1808) Wives of Wesleyan Methodist ministers were supported by the church, either centrally or through the local congregations: lists of wives were therefore printed in the annual minutes. Unfortunately, the ladies' Christian names are never given; where it is necessary to distinguish between wives of ministers with the same surnames, the husbands' Christian names are given. The S. preceding each name signifies 'Sister'. Examining these lists is nevertheless a good way to trace approximate dates of marriage for a minister, and approximate dates of death of wives that predeceased them.
