I've been going round in circles on internet sites trying to determine where I might find records for Providence Chapel, Uxbridge for the period 1867 - 1882, baptisms. The West Middlesex Family History Society's web page seems to indicate that the Local Studies Archives at the Uxbridge Library is the repository for Uxbridge records, but there is no email address or website given. I've looked elsewhere for Providence Chapel records but even the LDS does not seem to have the years I need on microfilm. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is Providence Chapel still in existence in Uxbridge? Specifically, I'm hoping to find the baptisms of: DEVERILL, Ada Mary in 1868, daughter of Willam Henry and Mary Margaret DEVERILL, Harry Thomas in 1870, son of the above DEVERILL, Kate Sara in 1872, daughter DEVERILL, William John in 1875, son DEVERILL, Mary Maud in 1878, daughter. Their parents, William Henry DEVERILL and Mary Margaret TAYLOR were married in this non-conformist church, however all these children appear to have later married in Cof E. (I have the birth registrations, but not baptisms. Hoping to know which church the family used after the marriage, or if they baptised these children at all.) Thanks for any advice, Tracy in Ontario, Canada

Tracy, Some of the information you want is to be found here http://tinyurl.com/3kh954s It says the Chapel congregation became part of the Congregational church in Uxbridge but no longer exists.

Hello Tracy I was in Uxbridge library today, so I checked the Providence Chapel records for you. The detailos for the children of William Henry (a grocer) and Mary Margaret DEVERILL are: Ada Mary, born 19 Nov 1868 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 30 May 1869 Harry Thomas, born 28 May 1870 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 14 August 1870 Kate Sarah, born 3 February 1872 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 30 June 1872 Edith Nelly, born 19 December 1873 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 7 August 1874 William John, born 5 December 1875 in Uxbridge. Bapt. 9 January 1876 I could find nothing about Mary Maud, and Edith Nelly doesn't appear on your list.
