Registers

The practice of the Methodist Church is to deposit registers which are no longer in use  in the local record offices. In most cases this happens when the chapel has closed, but it will also happen when the register is full.

To find out where a register has been deposited, go to the National Archives catalogue at  http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ and search use “Methodist” and the place in which you are interested, or the county.

Data Protection legislation will restrict access to those entries over 100 years old.

Some of our deposited registers are now available online. In the case of any compiled before 1837 there is an almost complete coverage online. here  Further pages list which post 1837 registers are currently available online or in print
