Registers before 1791 From its origins in the 1730s until the death of John Wesley in 1791 Methodism was closely connected with the Church of England. Many Methodists also attended the parish church (until their gradual exclusion) and hence were usually baptised, married, and buried by the Church of England clergy; entries, therefore appear in the parish registers, sometimes under a separate section for dissenters'. A few Methodist registers survive from the later part of this period. The earliest for Tyne and Wear dates back from a register of baptisms in the Orphan House, Newcastle (MF 286) After the death of Wesley, Methodism soon became a separate denomination. It was governed by a Conference and organised nationally as a `Connexion' divided into Districts each made up of Circuits consisting of a number of individual churches or `societies'. During this period there were several divisions in Methodism all of which produced their own registers. The most important were: Wesleyan Methodists: the original and largest group Methodist New Connexion: formed in 1797 Primitive Methodists: Bible Christians: Wesleyan Methodist Association Wesleyan Reformers: originated in Staffordshire in and spread rapidly, especially in northern England formed in Devon in 1815 and centred mainly in the south west, but there was a group of chapels in Northumberland later taken over by the Primitive Methodists most of these groups joined in 1857 to form the united Methodist Free Churches (UMFC) 1

2 Registers were sometimes kept for individual churches, sometimes for a group of churches or a whole circuit in the same volume. Size of churches seems to have been the determining factor. Circuit registers are perhaps more common amongst the Primitive Methodists and Methodist New Connexion. 3. Surrender of Registers, 1837 After the Civil Registration Act many non-parochial registers were deposited with the General Registry Office and later transferred to the National Archives, London. Others were transferred subsequently in Microfilm copies of many of these registers are held locally. A number of Methodist registers were not surrendered and still survive locally, eg Wesleyan baptisms, North Shields from 1808 (1033/1). 4. Methodist Union In 1907 the Methodist New Connexion, Bible Christians and UMFC united to form the United Methodist Church (UMC) In 1932 the Wesleyan Methodists, Primitive Methodists and United Methodists united to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain. 5. Types of Registers (a) (b) (c) Baptism: most Methodist registers are of baptisms. They commence in the late eighteenth century and are not only useful to the genealogist but contain information for analysis of social origins etc. Marriages: under the Hardwicke Marriage Act of 1753 all nonconformists except Quakers were required to marry in parish churches. After 1837 Methodists could marry in their own churches but only in the presence of the Registrar in whose records all such marriages were entered. This remained the case until 1898 when the Marriage Act permitted the appointment of `authorised persons' to act as registrars of marriages in duplicate registers. Hence, before 1837 all Methodist marriages should appear in the parish registers and between 1837 and 1898 only in the records of civil registration. Separate Methodist marriage registers are normally found only after Burials: a few Methodist churches had their own burial grounds but burial registers are uncommon and none survive for Tyne and Wear. Most Methodist burials were entered into the parish register or, later, in the records of civic cemeteries or crematoria. There follows a list of Methodist Circuit and Church registers held in the Department: 2
