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

I can add a possible connection to the 1841 census return of James and Susannah Atterby at Sadler Gate in Derby.  John Woolhouse operated a rope, twine, sacking business at Sadler Gate.  His wife, Maria Towers, was the illegitimate daughter of Frances Towers who later married Samuel Atterby of North Somercotes and thus Maria was the half sister of James Atterby.  Another brother, Samuel Atterby Jr., was with the Woolhouses when they earlier lived in Hull.
