Thanks for that information, I can start to process it at the moment as we're getting ready to go on holiday, cruising through the Panama Canal, long hot sunny days
When we get back I'll start to fit it in. Thanks again.

Hi bhlong

I think I've worked out who's who, and have Samuel Atterby Junior c1797. I think he's the Methodist Preacher I "Googled" and would love to know more about him and confirm or rule this out.

Can you tell me the source of your info regarding the Woolhouses and him living with them pre-1841 in Hull please?

Hi

Apologies for the belated response, I'm new to these forums and  was expecting to be notified of a reply, I didn't realize I had to monitor the thread.

Samuel Atterby Jr is the Primitive Methodist preacher.  There are a number of books that describe the role of the Samuel Jr and the Woolhouses in bringing Primitive Methodism to Hull.
The best are probably:
- "The Journals of William Clowes: a Primtive Methodist Preacher"; Clowes was considered the co-founder of Primitive Methodism and the first in Hull, invited by the Woolhouses; not the most information but definitely the starting point
- "The Origin and History of the Primitive Methodist Church", by H.B. Kendall which has the most information, including a portrait of Atterby and photo of the Woolhouse factory in Hull.
A number of other publications, including some recent academic journals, repeat the story.
And Samuel Attery has a biography and John Woolhouse a journal which have been referenced but I've not been able to track down.
Most of the out of copyright books (including Clowes and Kendall) can be downloadeed from www.archive.org or books.google.com
