Phil,
I was interest to see that you were doing research on early Brethren in Hereford. I am currently exploring the history of mid-19th century Brethren in Cumbria. In the 1851 and 1861 census returns for Keswick there is a Joseph Darrow, "Minister of Christian Brethren". I have learned quite a lot about him relating to his time in Keswick, but he is recorded as having been born in Hereford, and was married there in 1843 to Elizabeth Bonner Lewis of Abergavenny (at the Register Office).
I wonder, in your researches have you come across this couple. Darrow had a remarkably devoted ministry in Keswick until his early death aged 42 in 1862, and was highly regarded in the local community.
