Hi Dennis, This may give a clue...& it would seem worth following up on the Baptist Chapel records. * In 1669 the Anabaptists met monthly in the house of one Ingram. At the same time Bloxham Quakers met in the house of George Anson, weaver. They also attended the Adderbury & Sibford meetings, having no permanent meeting house of their own. The Presbyterians who had been growing in numbers & influence in the 18th century, four of them being among the richest men in Bloxham, were losing ground to the Baptists in the 1800s. In 1800 the Baptists, among whom GASCOINGE, WOODWARD, CAKEBREAD & WISE, asked licence & authority to worship God in a house on the north side of Bloxham. By 1812 a chapel was errected & registered & in 1859 a new, larger chapel built. There were Methodists in Bloxham in 1820 & a meeting house was registered in 1821. Many Bloxham church people attended Baptist or Methodist meetings in the evening, having been to morning service in their parish church* ''The Town Of Bloxham'' by Y.S.

Hi Angela Many thanks for that input and I will certainly follow it up. I rather think my early CAKEBREADs were Presbyterians. The period I am particularly interested in is pre-1786 when the records of Bloxham and Milton Presbyterian chapel seem to start. Certainly my family mostly, but not always, had their later baptisms there.
