Hello Ken,
I am pleased that NG managed to get you a copy of Richard Sulley's Will, it was a shame that it didn't tell you very much.
I don't know how much you already have on the other children of Richard and Anna and if there is any other information to help fill in the gaps?
On the 1841 census, Anna Sulley is in the parish of St Nicholas and there is a Rebecca Sulley with her, aged 40 yrs. I think she was also a daughter of Richard & Anna.... although I didn't find a baptism/registration to confirm this.
(The first two children of Richard & Anna Sulley were christened as Presbyterians and the other five Baptist)
I am no expert on Baptist records and I haven't been able to find some of my ancestors, mainly due to the records being kept at their chapel and the records did not survive.
Gives a small insight into the dates, finances,changes, schisms, numbers of members etc. =
