St. Cuthbert's, Hamilton Street, was Church of England. A former Presbyterian Chapel, it was consecrated in July 1880. ........was baptised at Whitburn Street Wesleyan Methodist Church (Not St. Cuthbert's) on 15.4.1890' It is unlikely, but not impossible, that if she was baptised as a Methodist, she would confirmed into the Church of England. If she lived in Warwick Street the nearest the parish church was the Venerable Bede on Newcastle Road. St. Cuthbert's was quite a distance away, although not far from the Whitburn Street chapel.
