Derbyshire Baptist History

[tvpayne]

Greetings,

I am looking for Redshaws in the Longford, Horsley, Brailsford area.  I have not been able to find the birth records for William Redshaw abt. 1759.  I have him on a 1841 Census as living in Longford and the Piggot's 1835 shows him as a shop keeper and brick maker.  I have not been able to find him in the Church of England's registers.  There is a William Redshaw with the right birth year from Rockingham but that is some distance from the area. 

Thanks,

Taylor

Hi

Just found this thread - probably because I'm just researching baptist ancestors in Derbyshire!

If it's of any interest to previous posters I've visited Swanwick Baptist Chapel today looking for my ancestors. I'm quite happy to go back to look for headstones for anyone researching Swanwick (Needless to say I don't live too far away).

Some quite old stones, some illegible , some broken but enough to be interesting - the one I was looking for was very eroded so no info. readable)

Hi

I don't suppose you asked if they have any old records too did you?  I wonder if they have any of the baptism, marriage or burial records still on site?

Hi Damian

I've left a message for the Reverend asking about the history and records of the chapel. I'll let you know when he responds

Hi Claire, I came across this thread while trying to trace some information on a particular Baptist Chapel. Could you tell me if possible please, is Watson Street Baptist Chapel (Derby) mentioned in the book ? I believe the Chapel was demolished in the early 70`s

With thanks & kind regards

Hi Paul,
If I may interject,
The Watson Street Chapel does get a small section in the Derby Chapter, also in data in the appendix, and there is a 1940 photograph .
The book is still in print, I was recently able to buy it on  Amazon
