Derbyshire Baptist History

[smouse]

Hi there

Tracing my 'baptist' line has been quite a challenge.  It is the Waller family from Swanwick I am interested in.  I haven't found any records between the late 1700's way into the late 1800's.  I don't suppose there is anything specific for this parish?

Hello Damian

There is no mention of any Waller's but there is a chapter on the start of the churches in Swanwick and Loscoe. Swanwick Baptist does have a small graveyard, but no specific people are mentioned in the book except for the ministers and some financial contributors.

Sorry
Claire

Thanks Claire.

I have a photo of what I think is that chapel and graveyard and a few photos of stones belonging to my Wallers so it seems to be a likely source of info.  Does the book give a "start" date for worship there?

Hi... this is what it says...

First preach 1794
Church built 1796
Independence from Loscoe in 1804

Hope that's helpful

Hi Claire

Thank you for the further very interesting information.  I don't think that at the moment I have anything further I can share with other RootChatters on the board so will send you another PM.

You're doing a sterling job for fellow members with Baptist ancestors!

Hi Jan

There is a whole chapter on Melbourne, but no mention of Tivey, Tivy or Fairbrother, sorry.

Is there anything else you would like to know
