We mark our 200th anniversary in 2013 and wish to get in touch with any who had families connected with the chapel in the past including the former ministers-
Samuel Sargeant 1867-68
Willima Schofield 1883-7
Simeon Champkins 1911-22
Alfred Peet 1896-1901
Charles Guy 1928-33

any help welcome ;-) :-)

Try using freebmd as a first point of reference

Also, look in 'search all trees' on here
