Good morning, I hope you can help me or point me in the correct direction to answer some questions that I have.
My ancestors attended the Wesleyan Church in Netherthong Yorkshire between 1817 and 1827. At least 4 of their children were baptised in the church according to baptism entries for the church. They lived in Deanhouse and their last name was Schofield.
One or two of the children died young. I have not been able to find any burial or death records for them or that church. The only death records are after 1830 for the All Saints Church (C of E).
My questions are, would the Wesleyan Church have kept these records and how could I access them remotely? I live in Canada. I have reached out to the Wesleyan Church in area and they messaged me that they have passed on my enquiry to other sources, but nothing has come back yet.
Also, is there is a cemetery at the church and if there is are there any records of the tombstones and would the stones still exist? If they weren't buried on church land, where would they be buried? I appreciate any help you can give me. Whether you can answer these questions, or advise me who might be able to help me. Kindest regards.
