Two of my ancestors in different generations, Revd. John Orchard COOMB b. 1835 and Revd. Simeon Louis WARNE b. 1867 were Bible Christian ministers. John Coomb served in Victoria, Australia at Camperdown, Castlemain, Clunes, Creswick and Geelong before returning to St Just (in Penwith?) in Cornwall. Louis Warne's Cornish ministries were in Penzance and Truro. I would be very pleased to find out where they learned to be ministers.
