3) METHODIST CHURCH REGISTERS Registers often exist for individual churches but are also found for groups of churches or whole circuits. In searching for a particular event both of the lists below (3a and 3b) should be checked. Registers are given a catalogue reference according to the circuit or district which deposited the records with us (see list 3c below for circuit/district catalogue codes, prefixed with M/ ). Circuit boundaries are not permanent and it is possible that an individual church will be part of a number of different circuits at various stages of its existence. It is beyond the scope of this leaflet to give a history for every individual chapel. There are also changes to denominational groupings over time: Wesleyan Methodist churches started around 1790; The Methodist New Connexion was founded in 1797 and joined the United Methodists in 1907; Primitive Methodists started in 1811; the Wesleyan Methodist Association of 1836 became the United Methodist Free Church in 1857 and then joined the United Methodists in 1907; finally the Wesleyan Methodists, Primitive Methodists and United Methodists joined to become the current Methodist Church in 1932. There have also been Independent Methodist churches since 1806, with many established in the North-east. WM = Wesleyan Methodist (1790-1932) MNC = Methodist New Connexion (1797-1907) PM = Primitive Methodist (1811-1932) UMF = United Methodist Free (1857-1907) UM = United Methodist (1907-1932) FM = Free Methodist LEP = Local Ecumenical Partnership (some records may be catalogued as a different denomination) 3a) Methodist Circuit Registers Barnard Castle PM Circuit... b1831-1934 - M/BC, M/BT Barnard Castle WM Circuit...... b1803-1957; m1849-1882 - M/BC, M/BT Bishop Auckland Circuit... b1912-1936 - M/BA Bishop Auckland PM Circuit... b1859-1960 - M/BA Bishop Auckland WM Circuit... b1838-1962 - M/BA Blackhill UM Circuit... b1931 - M/Sta Brandon PM Circuit... b1898-1943 - M/DDV Brandon and Deerness Valley Circuit... b1942-1950 - M/DDV Chester-le-Street Circuit... b1935-1950 - M/CS Chester-le-Street PM Circuit... b1859-1950 - M/CS Chester-le-Street WM Circuit... b1867-1912 - M/CS Consett Circuit... b1932-1936 - M/Sta Consett PM Circuit... b1939-1943 - M/Co Coxhoe PM Circuit... b1902-1926 - M/Th Crook PM Circuit...b1850-1959 - M/Cr, M/D/DA Crook WM Circuit... b1865-1973 - M/Cr Darlington, North Road, WM Circuit... b1873-1934 - M/Da Durham Circuit... b1932-1958 - M/Du Durham PM Circuit... b1842-1932 - M/Du Durham WM Circuit... b1815-1957 - M/Du, M/DDV Gateshead WM Circuit... b1812-1837 - (microfilm only) Houghton-le-Spring WM Circuit... b1837-1840 - (microfilm only) Middleton-in-Teesdale PM Circuit... b1874-1930 - M/BT Seaham PM Circuit... b1888-1948 - M/Sea Shildon PM Circuit... b1866-1974 - M/Sh Shildon and New Shildon WM Circuit... b1885-1973 - M/Sh Shotley Bridge PM Circuit... b1844-1939 - M/Co Shotley Bridge WM Circuit... b1840-1953; m1904-1950 - M/Co Shotley Bridge and Consett WM Circuit... b1877-1963 - M/Co Spennymoor PM Circuit... b1868-1935 - M/SF Spennymoor WM Circuit... b1852-1946 - M/SF Spennymoor and Ferryhill Circuit.. b1926-1957 - M/SF Stanhope PM Circuit... b1840-1909; m1942-1966 - M/We Stanhope and Westgate PM Circuit... b1880-1934 - M/We Stanley Circuit... b1936-1959 - M/Sta Stanley PM Circuit... b1868-1936 - M/Sta Stanley WM Circuit... b1895-1942 - M/Sta Stanley & Catchgate Circuit... b1933-1941 - M/Sta Stockton-on-Tees WM Circuit... b1824-1858 - (microfilm only) Teesdale WM Circuit... b1856-1978 - M/Te, M/BT Thornley PM Circuit... b1863-1929 - M/Th Thornley WM Circuit... b1867-1936 - M/Th Thornley Section, East Durham Circuit... b1909-1936 - M/Th Thornley and Wingate Circuit... b1892-1911 - M/Th Waterhouses PM Circuit... b1884-1937 - M/DDV Weardale Circuit... b1838-1857 - M/We Weardale PM Circuit... b1905-1986 - M/D/DA Weardale WM Circuit... b1878-1947 - M/We, M/D/DA West Auckland PM Circuit... b1858-2000 - M/BA Wheatley Hill Section, Thornley Circuit... b1959-1986 - M/Th Willington PM Circuit... b1860-1951 - M/Wi Wingate WM Circuit... b1873-1896 - M/Th Wingate PM and Wingate Circuit... b1896-1938 - M/Th Wingate Section, East Durham Circuit... b1909-1940 - M/Th Wingate Section, Thornley Circuit... b1932-1970 - M/Th Wolsingham WM Circuit... b1840-1935 - M/We, M/D/DA HANDLISTS:Handlist01NonConformistRegisters.doc/19-Feb-19/09:39... page 2
