Not quite sure why you are associating those forenames with Methodism.  :-\

I wasn't associating them with Methodism. What I meant is, that Methodism was the largest non-Anglican body in England in those days, though it didn't formally separate from the Church of England till somewhat later. I meant that, as there doesn't seem to have been a Methodist presence, maybe there were Baptists or Quakers to whom the family may have belonged.

 I'm totally confused :-\  :-X
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

In my tree, there are many Johns and Abrahams (both Biblical names), starting from 1550.
But the family were staunchly Anglican - including a number of vicars.
