Hi Linda We forget how controversial and violent religious beliefs could be back then.....the visiting Methodist preacher....but I won't spoil it for you! I'm re-reading, after many years, 'The World Turned Upside Down' by Christopher Hill. It deals with the innumerable religious sects of the English Civil War period - Calvinists, Presbyterians, Levellers, Diggers, Ranters, Muggletonians, etc. If I went back in time, I do not think I could spend more than 5 minutes in the same room with any of them!

My grandfather, Ed Plowright was born there. His parents and most of his siblings were either born there or were a part of this parish whilst growing up. My husband and I found a cousin living in Wrangle and were so blessed to visit in 1997. We actually sat on the roof of St. Mary & St. Nicholas parish church and enjoyed a marvelous view. Lovely to remember the church bells on a Sunday morning calling the parissoners to worship...truly a step back in time. I have many such memories.

I was hoping that someone with Ancestry or FMP would have the information at their fingertips. I will check with Durham Records Office. Yes, I’ve discounted John Dandison of Wrangle, who seems to have spent much of his life there and had children with Ann; whilst John Dandison of Kings Lynn appears not to have had children (his wife died there in 1790). Incidentally, for anyone interested in Wrangle, there is an online PhD thesis from 1966 from Leicester University which gives a fascinating history and analysis of the village. Lots of names mentioned, religion, infant mortality, etc., and it can be searched. It can be found at https://lra. <https://lra.le.ac.uk/bitstream/2381/32088/1/7502646978.pdf> le.ac.uk/bitstream/2381/32088/1/7502646978.pdf Its interesting to compare this document, produced on a typewriter, and its hand drawn maps, with the glossy and sophisticated looking publications you would get now.
