Title: Margaret Miller b. 1802 and died 1841 Darlington
Post by: Westee on Friday 23 July 21 05:17 BST (UK)
Looking for her baptism.  If he father was the Rev. Robert Miller, of Wesleyan Methodist connection, would there be a different OPR for them?

Looking at the 1841 census transcription below was her maiden name Miller when she married James?
The census indicates she was not born in County Durham?

James Miller married Margaret Pearson
3 Sep 1832 Richmond, Yorkshire.

If this is correct Margaret is unlikely to be the daughter of Rev. Robert Miller.

Unless she had been married before.

The marriage record on freeReg indicates that she was a spinster

Margaret Pearson baptised Richmond 13 February 1801 daughter of John Pearson, wool comber.

There is also a baptism in Hornby in 1802. Hornby is a few miles from Richmond.

I will try and locate a copy of that book.  Have a special interest in the Darlington area, although, it seems he only spent a short time there.  Any snippet of information on him to help with my research is terrific.  So tks for all the extra details.

You dont need the book westee.
Its all there to read if you just google what I did:

rev robert miller  wesleyan minister

Down the page this comes up

The Wesleyan Methodist Magazinehttps://books.google.com.au › books
1831
ROBERT MILLER ; Being a Supplement to “ The Experience of Mr. Robert Miller ... beloved by his father , who had set his mind upon his being a Minister .

You can then read it all on line.

I'm useless at shrinking links but by googling its easy to find :)

That's what I just did on post 11.   :)
It might be a good idea to contact the Lit & Phil library in Newcastle as they may possibly hold info about him too.

Firstly, a big "thanks" to everyone.   I found the article - how uplifting it is to read the text/words.   Amazing, - I must try and improve on my language skills.  So appreciated and helpful to have this information. 

Yes, have eliminated Margaret from my data.
