Comments about this page

Beckerlegge chose not to include any record of a minister’s stations following Methodist Union. I have added these using Ministers and Probationers of the Methodist Church, 1936 and the British Newspaper Archive. As you would expect, his obituary appeared in the Minutes of Conference.
