Hi, The references to Methodist records was of interest to me , I thought it might be worth reviving a question I tried to research many years ago. My great great grandfather , Thomas England Byford (b1815 d1849) was a Weslyan Methodist lay preacher for a time. He was born in Castleford and was living in Rotherham in 1841. Does anyone know if there are any records of such preachers please?
