A little snippet to littleclaire...
On census 1901 Henry was enjoying (we hope) his retirement in Castle Eden Colliery (Gray St).
Castle Eden Colliery and the community of Castle Eden lay within the Registration District of Easington, as did Easington village, Easington Colliery and Easington Lane (three separate communities).
Castle Eden Colliery, lying within the Parish of Monk Hesledon, had a passenger railway station ( Handy for Archibald Eustace Gray, the railway clerk ! )

Hi Claire
Yes, BAptist Churches are "governed" at a local level for the day to day running, finances etc (I should know, I am a deacon at one!!!!!!) but I would be pretty certain the BU would have records of all Ministers and when they were when.
They could certainly advise which is the BAptist Church in Stranton from the Baptist Union Handbook (I might even be able to find a copy of that somewhere...) and would hold all past copies so could see what minister was there when etc.
Worth a try - I dont know if they are sympathetic or have the time to deal with that sort of enquiry but I would certainly give it a go.

or try
http://www.thenba.org.uk/church.htm
It lists 4 Baptist Churches in Hartlepool and 2 or 3 have email addresses, they might be able to say if they are near Stranton and if they had a Henry Gray as Minister back then

Hi Claire
Tower Street is a few minute's walk from Stranton C of E Church and I think would have been in old Stranton.
Good luck

Curwood, minister ....Baptist (Providence Particular) Thornton street, ministers various .... [Private residents] .... Gray Rev. Jn. (Baptist), 3 South Burn ter ...."

Hi Claire
....Baptist (Providence Particular) Thornton street, ministers various ....
Don't forget the Thornton Street chapel. It was also in Stranton district.
I just stumbled on this site that may be some use to you.
