Hello List, I am at a standstill with my Southall/Southwell family & I think that it is now time that I looked at other churches other than the C o E. Grosvenor Southwell/Southall bap c1725 Joseph Southall baptised c1826 (born Whittington but not baptised there). Joseph on the 1870 census is shown to be a coal miner & Primitive Local Preacher, in Australia he was a Methodist & buried as one. Joseph was a poet & wrote many letters to the paper. He also was a strong advocate for education especially for the children of miners where he became a union man. I believe the Primitive church was very strong on education. If anyone who researches these churches & has seen these two fellows I would appreciate hearing from you or else please tell me where these records are held. Many thanks. Robyn

<<snipped>> I think that it is now time that I looked at other churches other than the C o E. <<snipped>> Some non-conformist records that made their way to Kew may be found on the site http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk/ However, you do need to use this site in conjunction with The National Archives catalogue (Kew) in order to work out what's on the site. Also check off against GENUKI to see what non-conformist churches were in the area and what happened to their records, because not all went to Kew. Adrian
